Well here is one pic of my set up. I run 35 large mortar tubs in a homemade rat rack system. The are both watered with 2 5 gallon buckets each with watering systems I bought from agselect.

I feed my rats either lab chow or dog food with no #40 red dye. That type of dye is harmful not only to rats but to snakes as well.

The tubs measure 3' X 2' and are approx 8" deep. I usually run between 1.4 to 1.6 in each tub.

Good luck!!
