The V-18 is a tad larger than 8qts... hence the "~8qt". It's probably closer to 12qts, but I never see a volume listed for it anywhere- just dimensions, and I'm not really interested in doing the math. The water bowl is a 5" dish for size reference. It's a kick hearing the thrashing when I throw a rat in there.

0.1 Pinstripe- 975g and cozy as heck.... whatever makes her happy
