will these work for baby rearing tubs?

trevorbennett Mar 13, 2004 12:21 AM

i looked at some rubbermaid containers today that are 20x14x7.5 inches. will these working for hatchling bins?

how many should i have for one clutch? i was told about 10 per bin....but, should i seperate them more than that?because i think i could easily get them seperated down to 5-6 per bin with an extra bin or two for any nippers that appear. would this be better?

does anyone use anything more in their set ups for multiple hatchlings than the basking rock/stick and feeding bowls? it seems like they would get bored fast? or is it best to keep the asseccaries to a minimum to alllow more space?

is butcher paper better than paper twoels for babies?

sorry for all the questions.....they are still 3-4 weeks off and i'm already getting anxious and making sure everything will be the best for em

thanx

I think they are a bit shallow....I would go with a 9-10 inch height....I use rubbermaid bins as well....mine are 59 qt....22 x 15 x 9.....

I put them in group of 10-12 to start....by 2 weeks, groups of 8.....by 4 weeks, groups of 4-5....

Simple is better with tubs....basking rock and food dish....I use paper towels, but I'm sure butcher paper would work well, though I've not tried it....
