Our breeding room, the big cages are where we let them mature, top for girls bottom for boys 2 little cages on top are maternaty cages the 5 medium cages are where we keep the mommys and daddys til the mommys are ready to pop. the 2 ten gallon tanks are for mice. and the 7 hamster cages are maternaty cages.

THIS IS BEEJAY, ARGH

That's a lot of rodents in some pretty prime enclosures! Lots of space--impressive.

Dang! I need a set up like that! Mine are getting WAY too crowded!

BTW, for those that are wondering, the black cages are from www.martinscages.com
We got the powdercoated cause they last longer then galvanized (and look nicer). We figure the extra space and climbing makes them grow bigger (some of our males are around 700 grams).

Awesome setup, aside from the smell it must work great. How many snakes are you feeding Linds? Also I notice the pine shavings but, is that shredded paper in some of the cages and if so how do you like it?

Thanks

Oh, just noticed the fan blowing outside, do you use this year round?

Great setup Lisa (not Linds Batdad) :D, but you loose so much space with those very tall cages. I believe if they were the 2/3 of hight you would gain significantly a lot more space.
Furthermore, they must throw the wood shavings all over from that low height plastic base :(
I try to find rats too, to start breeding them as well (let's see where i should finf the time then... :(..recently i asked for 30 hours daily...still waiting) :D
