anyone have plans to build a small to med sized rat rack. Im looking for failry simple plans not anything using professional tools and tables in a wood shop because im not to good at this. I do know i will need home depot mixing tubs (I hear the rats chew through the ones from lowes). Im looking to produce enough feeders for 2 adult boas and 6 small balls. Pics would be great with the plans.

I have no plans but my racks look similar to those picture in the previous post. I used the concrete mixing tubs from Home Depot made by Argee corp. I never used the ones from lowes but the rats chew threw anything including the tubs I used. The trick is not giving them an edge to chew on and supplying blocks of wood to chew one. Also keeping them feed and watered is another trick to keepng them in the tubs. Like anything if the conditions are right they will stay where they are.
I found that you can repair holes in the tubs with some hardware cloth its tricky but it makes a unchewable patch where once there was a hole.
Good Luck
