And it wasn't for lack of stimulation. When I kept rats in tubs such as those they had blocks of wood to chew on, a couple of running wheels, and those little edible huts you could buy. If one gets curious and gets a tooth on the plastic and gets out, you're screwed

I ONLY trust mixing tubs, because there isn't anything they can get their teeth on. And yet I still have nightmares of waking up to hundreds of rats running around.

I know it's easy to get mixing tubs in Ontario, let me try to dig up some info in old FB messages.
I would like to use mixing tub if i could find them locally, I wouldn't want them to get out and run around the house. lol The rat and mice rack will be going in the basement, we heat by oil here and thats all I need is for them to get out and chew on the oil line from the tank and furnace. I sure wouldn't want to pick up 200 gallon of oil. lol
