3 Tub Rat Rack

[atp151415]

Hey guys i got this idea from arbreptiles.com. But instead of their 6 tub one i made it into a 3 tub.

Here is each level that i made with the hardware cloth stapled on

And here is the finished product. Sorry for not having enough time to take more pics during the process


And just letting everyone know that without arbreptiles.com design, I would not have been able to build it

Hope everyone likes!

That seems really easy to build, and very effective. Looks good to me!

looks nice, and easy...

maybe if i ever have to get back into the lifestyle of breeding rats i'll give that one a try =D

[atp151415]

yup it basically was pretty simpple, all i did was every measurement on arbreptiles i just halfed that, did all the cuts myself to

[atp151415]

the reason i only made it 3 tubs is because i wanted to stay simple and not half a bunch of rats that im stressed out to clean everything. Oh forgot to post

total cost was 45 bucks and thats screws, tubs, hardware cloth, and wood

Nice! I have one exactly like that but with Large litter pans....I need to make a new one with the big cement tubs.

ya man theyre pretty big tubs

Got to beware of those tubs. Need to have a tight fit, otherwise they'll chew right out of them. I built the six slot one and have had a single one chewed. Even though they had a full tray of food and full bottles of water. Just a heads up.

okay, good to know lol

you mean tight fit like centimeter gap or less?

Mine is flush with the wood, but still very easy to pull in and out with one hand. I have never had a rat chew out of anything. Tubs, racks, litter pans. I just give them a block of wood to chew and give them pasta once every week or so for them to get that gnawing urge out of the way.
