I want to set up a quarantine tub (Rubbermaid, Sterilite, etc) for a male Hog approxiametly 1-2 months old. What size or dimensions should I be looking at to house him for 1-3 months before moving into his permanent home in my reptile room?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thx

LOL. Well, after quarantine he'll go into a boaphile plastics cage (48x24x18).

I'm having difficulty finding out the dimensions of an 11.4L Rubbermaid. Can you give me an idea of the measurements?

Thank you both!

I am not sure the measurements but for teh Rubbermaid brand they start out with the small, then medium then large(flat ones)

I would say the medium size one would be fine for you Q period.

Sometimes you can get little rubbermaid combos (2 small, 2 medium and a large) for about 22 bucks, good price if you ask me for rubbermaid.

If I had to guess the measurements I would say 14"-16" long, 12" or so wide & 8"-10" wide but then again that just a guess as I am not around any right now and tring to picture me pulling one out of the rack LOL.

LOL. Thanks for trying.

I've got a spare Sterilite that is about 20" long, 12-14" deep and at least 10" high. Like you, I'm only guessing as I'm not looking at it. I thought this might be too small, but I guess it will work for a bit?

Thanks again.

Okay, I measured. It's 19x12x11

Would this do for the first 4-5 months of age?
