    Tub size (sry)

    How long should a bp stay in a 15qt tub. Im planning on building a rack soon but dont want them growinging out of it too soon either. I dont have a scales right now i was thinking more around an aprx age.

    Well sadly age doesn't always play into it, as some BPs may grow faster than others. I normally leave my juvies in 12-16qt tubs til they reach 550-700 grams, or when it just looks like they're miserable in there.

    It's worth it to invest in a cheap digital kitchen scale. They're very inexpensive, and a great tool to have.
