    I clean every 5 days on 1.4 tubs. I don't clean mom tubs as frequently. They usually go longer because there's such a small amount of waste. I'm feeding Native Earth 4018 and use water bottles changed twice a week. I'm also using Native Earth Shredded lab grade Aspen. Temp is regulated at 60 degrees on the dot and all my rodents are housed in my garage.

    Regards,

    B

    I use the Home Depot tubs as well. Clean every 3 days like clock work. Food hoppers are always kept full. Not a single chew mark on any of the tubs.

    I also have a different rack I use the jumbo petmate litter pans on. Again clean every 3 days and keep hoppers full. No chewing on these tubs either.

    All water bottles are changed every other day and topped off on off days.

    My tubs are always full of rats as I don't pull pregnant females.

    i dont pull my females either, i also raise all my babies in the same tubs with the adults. its not ideal and if anyone reading this has the space i would recommend pulling females and doing your raise ups in other tubs. i just dont have the space to do so right now.
