Does anyone have experience making a large tub to raise pinks up to adults in? I would love to hear what people have done.

I currently am producing pinks that I would like to raise to adults but I am concerned that adult mice might chew through rubbermaid containers. I was going to try and mimic lab style tubs but just ramp up the scale. What tubs work? I was thinking large like 41qt tubs with chicken wire tops with a food hopper. Do I need a special model or type of tub to prevent chewing out?

Also is it a problem to raise large numbers of mice all in one large container? I was going to use a 41qt and put 50-60 weaned mice in each unless I can put more in. What do people think about 50-60, is it too many or can I put even more in?
