go to Exotics By Nature website and make racks like they show plans for there....might be snake rack even,,,all plans about the same....



...mine...4 wide 7 levels...each level made seperately....

each lever screwed into legs....7 levels ....



anyways....a guy made them for me....1/2 inch wire mesh top.....and kitty litter pans for tubs....buy all you need and buy extra...they will ruin a few a year....in 3 years I only lost 6?....more or less...but I bought like 40 extra...they change sizes of stuff alot....and you need extra to clean with....



....kitty litter pans....I use 2 racks....that's 56 mouse tubs....each with 1.15 in them...I get hundreds of mice a week ,maybe a thousand .........



for weaned mice....I prefer to use 3 20 gallon tanks....one for keeper future females one has all males that I use first, they grow faster....and one for the fresh pulled small stuff...always rotating stuff...at times I also have 2 10 gallon tansk with mcie in them also , fresh pulled....in a 20 long tank...100 mice, I have done more but it gets old fast....10 gallon can hold 100 small mice, they like it warm anyways...as they grow you need to drop it to like 50 in a week or two....



...get the ideas....?....



...oh...and with 1.15 in each tub...I still only let like 21 to 30 pinks /fuzz in each tub...freezer has the rest/overflow...



you cannot let 30 pinks ,30 fuzz and 30 hops all in the same tub...the pinks will be eaten the fuzz will be runted really badly and the hops will crawl out and be stunted too...



...with 1/2 inch mesh the food is put on top...but the hops can get through it if they are not happy and fat....
