35 tub ASF rack

[spitzu]

just wondering how deep those tubs are,can the babies reach the water nipples?

can you pull a tub out without hitting the water nipple?

The tubs are about 6 inches deep. The newer weanlings can't really reach the nipples, so I just keep the substrate thicker in the front and leave them in with the parents longer.

The tubs come out perfectly due to the rail being about 6" shorter than the support/spacer. You can kind of see that from the picture.

No chewers at all. The tubs seem perfect so far. The only problem with them is the lips of the tubs have these little plastic tabs that protrude down. You have to cut them off or the tubs won't slide.

Only because it was cleaning day


I have about 11 tubs of 1:3 adult breeders so far after starting with one group of 2:3 and a bunch of babies in October. The 2nd row is full of juvie 1:3 groups, and the bottom is pretty much all adult males waiting to be eaten.






One of the rails. Easily one of the most important things to take your time with... make sure all of your rails are spaced perfectly.





The tubs drop off of the rails right here, easily clearing the nipples. You can also see the remnants of one of those annoying plastic tabs that I had to cut off of the tub so that it slides.











Huge litter! Yay

Great job on the rack it looks beautiful.. but I don't think I could ever raise mice/rats for feeding :/ I'd get too attached to those little things. That litter is just so cute lmao but it sure would save a lot of money

I lost all sympathy for them about 50 bites ago.
