thanks YO!

Wow you do have a nice rack!

Also, love the shirt!

Thanks Ninja!

I got that shirt in Daytona before I left.

It looks ok, but in all honesty, I would get MUCH bigger tubs. Moms with babies produce massive amounts of ammonia, and since the tubs are so small, there isn't alot of ventilation going on. You'll likely have to clean every other day, which wouldn't be feasible for anyone other than a crazy person

Also, rats that are too confined/too crowded will get bored/stressed and will chew. I have a couple of those tubs for storage and there are quite a few edges that ratties can get ahold of.

It's a good concept, but I really think they would benefit(not to mention produce better) from much bigger tubs that allow more ventilation and a place where they can get away from their feces/urine. If ammonia builds up, you're going to have rats with chronic respiratory problems. Sick rats don't produce(much less have time to eat because all they're thinking about is breathing), and if they do, the babies end up sickly.

Hope it helps some

thanks for the advice Becky.

I have been using these tubs for a lil while now an I only find them chewing when they are hungry or want something to gnaw on. So far the ventilation has been fine...They all have holes around the tubs and screen top. If I notice any problem I will immediately make changes.

For now I am satisfied with my work.

That setup is begging for an automatic watering system!

Everyone loves a cute rack....

you know Brad...I am hoping to change the shed in my back yard into a rat house...I will probably start in Feb. I will need a watering system then! It is a pita to change water bottles everyday but it is working for now.

That kind of scares me a little. But, just a little, because mine talk to me all the time. I don't usually say that in public.

Anyway, that is a very nice rack, and the rat housing looks mice too.

Thanks MBM!

Don't be afraid to let people know your rats talk to you..Hell my snakes talk to me too!
