louie-sib Jul 21, 2007 12:00 PM

Hi all im going to buy 20 plaster mixing tubs that are this size 165 litre. Length: 1200mm Width 510mm.
How many rats would you keep in tubs of this size? I would like to keep a male in all the time and i was thinking 1.4?

Thanks

1.4 works well in those tubs i have up to 1.6 in them what you going to do with that many rats i have 10 tubs including growing off tubs and i'm up to my neck in beasties. just remember the more in a tub the more often you have to clean it. with that many, go with auto. watering system or you spend all day filling bottles. gene
