Nice craftsmanship! Looks sturdy but also very neat and cleanly put together! They seem to have a nice space in there.

Thanks for the comments. This is my third rack and I still hate doing them, but it is better than buying a $1000 breeder rack

I think mine is a little taller than yours, I put it together in a hurry and did a half a$$ job but at least it does what it was meant to do.

you gonna cut out 4 of the 1/4" holes for the water bottle/sipper and use the 1/2 for the food like i did?

Danny Jenkins
I am probably going to use it like it is until I get a water system set up like I have on the rat rack. Just pile the food around the bottles for now. I should be getting that Mazuri feed Thursday.

lol, yours too?Question... How do you keep them from chewing? My asf's chew through metal
I built my racks and placed asf's in 2 of the tubs and in 3 days both tubs chewed out....Chasing asf's is never fun
I now keep my asf's in glass tanks only
And the fix (never mind the shameless self promoting ratty, lol)

LOL Yep... I have to keep mine in aquariums. I probably still have asf's running loose.
For convenience' sake, I hope your's (greencountryreps) are much better than mine.

How deep are you tubs? What size mesh did you use(1/4" or 1/2")? Do you put anything with them to chew on?
GreenCountryHerp
Danny Jenkins
I use 1/4" mesh on top and 1/2" for the feeding area. My tubs are 5" deep. So far no escapees and no chewing noticed. I also put things in there for them to chew on.

Brad, I think it has something to do with the line of ASFs you have. They don't seem to bite and don't chew as much as others I have heard about. Maybe they are more domesticated then others.

I keep mine on the big tubs with 1/4 mesh on top and for the feed hopper. I never had a problem with them chewing out for about 5 months. All the sudden came home one night and they had chewed out. It was the same breeding group in there the whole time. Sneaky son of a guns.
