Lance,
Here's some close ups of the hoppers. The pics are pretty much self-explanatory

Reptilesalonica,
No that's too small for a colony. That's just some overflow of the jumbo rats.

Yep... I made the rack with some help from my dad. I run colonies of 1.3 in each tub. I much prefer using rack systems over cages where I can, both with rodents and snakes

Well, very good job Linds! I liked that idea with the feeder thing.
What about automated watering system with hose? Have you ever tried it?
Just a question, they cannot chew on that piece of wood? (on the last photo)

Nope, haven't experienced any problems like that. If you are worried you could always secure them with twist ties or clips. In the 8 or so months I have been using this rack, I have no had a single escape from it
