tub size question??

ballfreak Dec 15, 2010 10:25 PM

i have a few balls in 32qt size tubs and was wondering there all about 1600-1900 grams is that tub good enough for them or should they be moved to a cb70 tub? thank you!

I have my males in 32 and my biggest females in 41 qt but females at the size you are talking about should be fine in a 32 but compared to everyone else I am a noob but they seem to fine.

All my females get oved to CB70's soon as they are 800 grams. My males go in 32qts but if any of my males passed 1400 grams I would probably put them in a CB70.

You're going to get some mixed responses on this. It's been discussed many times. 800 grams is pretty small to be moved to cb70's. But everybody does their own thing. I've got a vision rack and I've had to move 1500 gram females back into the smaller v35 tubs because they eat/breed better in the smaller tubs. I keep most of my females in the v35's until they are 2000 grams. Just my experience/opinoins though.

Long as there eating I have no issue moving my 800 gram girls to the CB70's if they slow down then i move them back to a 32 qt but hasnt happend yet.

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like I thought you were wrong. I was just stating what I do. I've had some that I moved up early and they did fine. Others stopped eating so I moved them back and I usually let them get bigger now before I move them.

No your fine. I understand exactly what your saying and its good for them to know there is that chance of them to stop eating. I have never had that problem as of yet. I am sure I will run into it eventually. I will add most my girls dont have hides but I always put hides in with the small 800-1000 gram girls I move to the CB70's.
