New Rat Bins

[MeMe]

Well Jo...Jeff and I made a one of those last night also!

I have a few more to get done but I have to get some more materials.

Instead of using zip ties though Jeff took some wire and laced it through the holes. It worked out great!

I'll post a pic after while but just wanted to thank you Jo, for the idea!!!

Oh the lacing would work great too Meme! Can't wait to see yours. Glad this idea was helpful to you too.

The wire lacing is a really good idea... I'll be using that one for sure.

Oh very nice Meme! Tell Jeff I said he's a very professional lacer LOL. I bet your rats will do very well and you'll find these bins easy to manage overall. Nice job!

Nice! I always wondered about adequate ventilation in deep tubs like those. Now I see that it can be done. And you could even stack them with breathability..
I highly recommend the WoodyPet pellets. I started using them a week and 2 days ago and they are not even ready to change just yet.. and the only odor you get is the woodsy smell of the pellets themselves.. awesome stuff. I do add in a few socks for the rats to nest with, as pellets can't be all that comfy

FANTASTIC suggestions and ideas!! im going to do the same thing with my mouse bin in about ten minutes.. thats a great idea putting the mesh on the inside to keep chewing mouths away from the plastic.. gotta chew through the clothwire first!! ill be sure to post pics of ours too.
