Here's my tiny mouse set up. I'm only breeding for my own two snakes at the moment so there's not much need for me to have more than this but it's small and effective.

Anyone have any of the bunnings concrete mixing tubs for sale? I am after some. Or can anyone tell me if there is somewhere her in Australia that has something similar? I have already made one rack with the 35L concrete mixing tubs so I know all the measurements and would like to stick to the same thing and make about 2 more racks.

l believe "TOO HOT" not enough air circulation 23-24c is the optimal temp for rodents (rats and mice)and they virtually stop breeding at 30c and most are deceased at 37-38c.......solar 17

This is my set up works a treat
 
Does anyone have a special or cheap feed to feed your rats.
I mix dry dog food low salt,mixed nuts raw,rat pellets plus large parrot mix and as a treat once a day sliced carrots or peas
 
One of 7 rat breeding racks in the rodent room at the moment. And a bunch of young females that went into breeding racks today replacing some of the older girls.

What tubs are those if you don't mind me asking?
 
where do you get those black tubs? are they concrete tubs ? im a newbie to the whole breeding of rodents and am going to have to start breeding quite soon...
 
This was my setup years ago, I had a couple of racks like this in the one room, I had 800 breeding rats, but I got very bad ammonia poisoning when cleaning the rats and had to get rid of them. I can't walk into a rat room anymore without my lungs playing up now.
