Freedom Breeder rat rack questions

[Shelby]

I just got a second level of the rat rack from Freedom Breeder. I have two questions.

First.. what model are the tubs that are used in there? One of the tubs has a crack in it from me dropping it. I'd like to just go to the container store and buy a new tub, instead of paying the $11+ shipping for one from Freedom breeder. It looks like a commercial model.. like maybe Iris.. just wondered if anyone knew what it was.

Second.. I got the food funnel for easy filling of food hoppers.. the problem is, I don't know how it fits on there! They didn't send instructions, and they never answer my questions when I send them e-mail.. thought maybe I'd have better luck asking you guys.

Thanks.

The tubs are IRIS tubs, probably cb70. Need tub dimensions in order to be sure.

No idea on the food hopper. While I REALLY like the freedom breeder racks I have a hard time justifying spending $1900 a rack when I can build my own.

April, give Jesse at Freedom Breeder a call .... if he's not in the office he usually leaves his cell # on the answering machine message ... he'll hook you up.

Yeah I guess I'll have to call. I talked to Jesse before, and he did help me out.

Not a CB-70 tub on the rat boxes...I'm pretty sure it's an Iris as well, but can't remember off the top of my head.

The funnel fits over the back of the food hopper - the little metal tabs on the funnel slide over the back hopper "wall" (this is all done @ the back of the rack). This will place the front of the funnel inside the food hopper, so that the food goes in w/o spilling all over the place.

HTH!

I'll have to measure the boxes and see what iris tubs they are.. I didn't think they were CB-70.. they're too small.

And thanks.. I'll try that funnel again. I thought I tried it every direction on there, but hey I was sick so my brain wasn't quite all there. lol

DOH ... sorry CB30


The dimensions are 15 3/4"W x 21 3/4"L x 7 7/8"H they run between 9.50 to 12.00.
