    Re: How many rats per tub?

    If you need some extra quick space, to free up the rack, make some sterilite tubs, 54 qt or larger, for the nursing mothers or grow ups.

    We had 2 of those tubs going for maternity tubs while we still had the 6 tub rack going. We had 12 females and something like 4 males. (have a bunch of those tubs not in use anymore hanging out in the garage )

    Per tub, if it's just small females, I can put like 5 or 6, 4 or 5 if they are large.

    If it's breeders, 1.4 max for me. I don't like to do to many breeders in one tub.

    In my opinion, you have a ways to go before you run out of room. Just stop holding back males like we did, and you'll be fine.
