I would say probably when they get to 1800g to move them up a tub size. A lot of people use Ikea Komplement tubs for larger females which is what i'll use if i get round to upgrading Laughing

Space between shelves approx 18.5cm box is good fit so box height is approx 18.5 also.

total outer length of shelves are 39 inches but you would get away with 38inches.

depth allow 2 foot.
This is side on rack.
