Adult Rack Alternatives

AllBalledUp Jan 20, 2008 05:55 PM

I am about to buy a 30-tub rack. I would prefer an integrated rack, as opposed to side-by-side stacks. The choice seems to be between the ARS 7030 and Freedom Breeders CB-70. From prior threads, it seems that many believe the ARS has assembly issues; the consensus knock on the FB rack appears to be humidity control. Do any of you know of any other particular reasons to steer away from either system? Appreciate your insights.

I like the freedom breeder racks and haven't had humidity issues but I have non-spill water bowls set up. Animal plastics make a good rack without humidity issues and also vision but both need assembly. no experience with ARS but have heard they are nie as well.

I use Freedom and Vision. If money is not an issue go with Freedom Breeder. I control the humidity in the entire room, which keeps it right in the enclosures. Vision is definately less expensive and are very easy to assemble, not an issue. Humidity is definately not an issue in Vision.

I have the ars rack and i like the way the humidity stays in the cage. A local friend of mine that also breeds has the freedom breeder and he had to cut strips of plastic and line his cage so the humidity would stay at a good level. Brian from ars also is a great guy to do buisness with you can pretty much reach him any time needed with questions. Hope you are happy with whatever choice you make.
