Awesome idea....I need to get rid of my aquariums and do this for my rat and mouse breeding. What do you do when you get a female pregnant, where do you remove her to? I thought about building a rack system but this is so much easier and cheaper!! What kind of wire is that you used? I have 4 females to 1 male right now, when a female gets pregnant, I take her out and put her in another aquarium, then when she has babies, at about 4 weeks I take them out and put all of them in a separate aquarium together, then, they start eating eachother or the mother eats them if I leave them with her for longer than 4 weeks....Ive had horrible luck breeding rats/mice. Any advice or more pics of some of the amazing housing,etc you have?
