    Looks good to me, and I don't think the rats care how pretty it is as long as you are feeding them.

    BTW, I highly suggest adding a gravity-fed watering system.

    You will not be disappointed. I have three rat racks. One is a twenty-four tub rack. I would hate to have to fill up water bottles on each of the tubs every day or every other day...

    I've got 4 of those 6 tub racks all of them with at least 2 rats full time in them. At first my thought was how bad could it be filling bottles when they empty. Now I dread having to fill them daily. I'm ready to make the switch.

    The only thing I worry about is will they all always have access to water? I mean, is it possible for there to end up being air in a line somewhere that's going to cause me grief? Any tips and tricks you can share about the installation and initial usage? I've read a few DIYs on how to put one in, just looking for the experience of people who have been there and done that for any special stuff.
