rodent breeding cages/tubs

[jacorin]

i've been trying to find some rodent breeding tubs/cages so that i can go back and start breeding mice again. bloody hell,they're like rocking horse poo aren't they.

yeh i can buy new ones,but at the moment,the business won't let me afford them

yeh i can build them(again lol) but working 12hr days 6 days a week not enough hrs in the week

hey mate mow many are you looking at getting??? i dont have any but i have just set up my rat breeding tubs, i bought 55lt black plastic tubs from the reject shop for about 10 bucks each and then just knocked up a steel frame and wire mesh lid for them, works a treat and they havent chewed out of them yet. When i used to breed mice i used tubs like sistima and just cut out a section in lid and inserted a piece of wire mesh.

i'll probably do about 18 tubs, i've got steel shelving from before that i had the tubs sitting on,and a couple of grow out tubs as well..... i'll work something out eh lol

Isn't Danny brown selling some at the moment? Might be something to look into if he hasn't sold them yet.

You can buy the nozzles from a guy on here (K.Sparky) and the tube and tank I would get from Bunnings.
