So would you suggest moving the males every 2 weeks or stretch that out to 3? I figure at 3 weeks when they come back around to the first tubs they'll have 0-2 weeks of rest between them. I'm sure I could push it out a few days more but it's easier for me to remember things weekly as opposed to every 23 or some odd days.
You can stretch to 3 weeks but I never found it necessary. The only thing make sure you start your second male 1 weeks after the first so it give you a consistent production of 2 females birthing every week for 6 weeks rather than 4 birthing each week for 3 weeks.

I think 12 tubs at this point will be more than enough.
