We use Kitab tubs. Australian made and readily available from many hardware stores. If you are making racks you need to be sure that replacement tubs will be avaailable in the future which isn't possible if you source from overseas.
What size mesh do you use and what brand feed?
7 female to 1 male in mating tubs and 1 female with 8 bubs in wet (lactating) tubsWokka, Thats a great setup.
Are they the 45 Lt. Heavy Duty Crate - L 600mm x W 400mm x D 220mm?
What Ratio do you run in them?
12mm mesh with biomare
Most rat and mouse pellets are 9 or 10mm so 12 mm wire is unsuitable. Some brands have a 14 x14mm block which would work. We worked out the feed we wanted then the mesh to suit. Its a complete system!Thanks I recently was given a bunch of rats (I thought they were going to be frozen when they were offered) and thought I'd try breeding a few. I set up a rack using 12mm mesh and bought a bag of rat and mouse pellets from the produce store but it mostly just falls through I take it that's not normal. I'll give Biomare a go
