I'm doing some thinking and planning on building my own shelving type setup for my ASF colonies. I have 4 colonies in tanks and would like to switch them to tubs. So far, everything leads to using concrete mixing tubs. I'd like to use something deeper as ASFs have higher jumping capabilities and/or jump a lot more than regular rats or mice.
My question is what other tubs are used other than concrete tubs? Is there anything equally as strong and deeper to prevent chew outs and the little blighters from "popcorning" all over the place? I'll be touring home depot, target, and wally world at some point this weekend just to look at tubs and stuff. But would like to know if there are specific tubs which would work.
I use stand alone Sterilite tubs for my ASFs.
The high ceilings also prevent chew outs since they can't reach them.
66qts are good for small breeding groups or 106qts for small colonies.
