Alright, here's the deal, the rat set up I have now, is great and all, works fine, I'm just tired of filling water bottles, and having 1.5 rats in each tub, more fights, and possibly trampled, fought over babies. I want to build a new rack, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I don't really know what I want. I can't decide whether or not to go with like 0.1 in each tub to raise their litter on their own, and do I want to rotate males or leave 1.0 in at all times. And finally, what do I want to do for grow out tubs. I want them to be part of the rack (or have a separate grow rack).

Sorry for the rant, but in short, what I'm asking is, what is your breeding recipe? Like what sorts of ratio's do you do and tub sizes and all that stuff.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, here is my current rat set up, nine 54q sterilite tubs with 200ml water bottles, 1/2" hardware cloth on the top and a 1/2" drop down feeding hopper. Each tub is 1.5.



And Here's my grow out tank.
