How long can a baby live in 6 quarts?
    By "very tight" she means small. Babies do better with limited space, bigger scares them.

    x2. When I got my two normals, I had them in too large of tubs, and the one refused to eat (although the other was a hog and ate a ton). I switched them to tubs half the size of the ones that they were in and they both ate as soon as I dropped the mouse in each tub.

    Oh, I get it, thank you! That makes sense.

    Good info! Whatever I get, I'd like the ability to use some different sizes.

    Looks like a rack with 6 quart tubs is the way to go. Thanks for all the responses!
