Rat rack info

[steve_r34]

Well its time cause keeping the totes is taking up to much room .. b4 I can put my ideas on paper cause I do know how I wanna build it .. I just need to know what u guys/gals r using for tubs .. what size ? I want to keep the system I have witch is 2 girls to a tub .. there in 66q totes now witch measure 22L 13w and im looking to go 6 tall ... but im gonna keep 4 growing up tubs and im thinking they need to be close to double on the width if im gonna have a lot more then 2 in there .. any info wouldnbe greatly appreciate .. thanks

Now I use those http://www.homedepot.com/p/Plasgad-M...101A/202086173, built the rack from scratch to the specifications I needed.

In the past I used jumbo cat litter pans for which I made a DIY http://stewartreptiles.com/Articles/...eding_Rack.pdf , the litter pans are now triple the price of what they used to be so using concrete mixing tubs is cheaper and the rats also have more room.

I use the same mixing tubs but I buy them from lowes. the ones at home depot have a key hole in the front lip of the tub. the ones at lowes don't have the hole they are solid.

For convenience I dont think I'm gonna use the mixing tubs .. I think i have it narrowed down to 2 tubs the fb10-5 from fb and mouse tub from vision the width is a little smaller then what I want but I would be able to build what I need now I just need the 4 grow up tubs with sterlite 28 q tubs
