    28qt Sterilite Rack

    Heres another rack for the sub adults i got done today. Posting for some people needing help on measurements.

    6-17"x23" Shelves
    2- 17"x 36" Sides
    Bottom kick plate is 3"x23"

    The Back piece i made it 36"x 22" to allow for easy access for wires to come out. You can use Lueon,pegboard or what ever you want. I use Lueon or pegboard for keeping it light.

    All is left to do is solder flexwatt up and put on the edging for the wood.

    All I found at walmart as far as a 41 qt was 6" high is that good or what should the dimensions be?

    Re: 28qt Sterilite Rack

    I use loads of the 41qt tubs. They thrive in the lower head room tubs it seems.

    Re: 28qt Sterilite Rack

    So even though at night (I currently have her in a 40 gallon breeder that I got her in when I adopted her) she roams around sometimes putting her head up to the top of the tank the 6" of height won't bother her? I know in the wild they just move along the ground and spend most of their time in rodent burrows, but since she is used to the space would the transition stress her out, or do you think she would be okay with it or perhaps even enjoy it?

    They don't NEED 41 qt tubs...the females might if they're 2k+ but a lot of people keep em in 32qts with no issue. I keep all mine in 34qts except for my breeder girls...they get 41qt.
