"Free Range" rats

[Fuscus]

My new grow out container, three meters by one meter by 0.6 meter high. I've commissioned it early because of the heat, currently it has a fan on top of it to keep the 174 current residents cool. Another 50-100 will take up residence tomorrow. My old grow out cage only took 80 comfortably but filled up too quick and I need to do more growing to the 150 gram size. Hopefully this will do it!
Also included is one of my "guards", escape has its risks

I would have more of those traps handy as it is sleep on the job!

Very awesome, this is how they should be living, not cooped up in tiny lab tubs with nowhere to move or exercise! ( Fair enough for females with young though )

I have a similar setup for my grow-out rats, not quite as large though - they love it and use every square inch!

Hard to clean it? I'm just picturing trying to catch 174 rats lol.

Still not 100% finished but occupied. I've had one of the local experts check it out for possible escape routes!
Oh and population now exceeds 200!

do any rats actually get out and fall for that beast or does he just tease himself all day long
