I've been wanting post pics of my rodent room for a while. I built all my racks by myself using ideas from other's designs and making changes/ improvements that I've found along the way. Feel free to ask any questions.

Mouse Breeding racks - running 1.8 adult mice per tub


Rat Breeding racks - took the general design from Deborah's pics here on bp.net and made a few minor changes. Each column is made separately and has its own casters. I just screwed the columns together but its nice to be able to pull 4 screws out and move the individual racks when needed.



Rat maternity rack - pretty self-expanitory, I just finished this one about 3 weeks ago and it was by FAR the most time consuming build, but I'm also the happiest with it. It has 49 tubs, right now I only have about 35 filled. The bottom level has 1/4 mesh and is running 1.6 mice colonies.


Rat grow-out rack - where weanlings go to become smalls I try to have 5 virgin adult females per week that are retired from the rat breeder rack and I move in 5 small/mediums to take their place.


I hope you enjoy / get ideas from this post. Ask any questions you have!
