Do you think this would work...?
If i was to buy this drawer unit:
Could i use the bottom two large drawers for large breeding groups e.g. 1.4/1.5.
Use 2 of the smaller drawers for pregnant females to give birth in.
And the other 2 smaller drawers for growing the babies in? |

i use a rack that has 3 of the smaller ones and there are big nough
so i think they would be fine
for the groups i would think 1.2 or 1.3 max _________________ jack

For the big tubs?
The are nearly 2ft wide and about a foot deep. I think bigger. Keeping 1.3 in the smaller tubs is just cruel.... |

You'll probably find they have gaps at the top of each tub, certainly enough to get your finger up and over the top lip of the tub. Wouldn't be bad for adult rats but when you've got inquisitive babies running around... _________________ A lil bit of Madagascar

I was going to say. I keep royals in a drawer system identical to that one and they havent escaped in the 6 weeks theyve been in there...
Thanks though...something to think about! |

I've had adult Multis (now in tanks) get through the gaps and regularly have mice running around my shed because they climb out.
Don't be naive like i was _________________ A lil bit of Madagascar
