Rat Racks and Tubs for Breeding

Our space-saving rat breeding racks are strong, safe, dependable, and highly versatile.

Each rack features excellent ventilation, lightweight movement, and lock-in wheels for easy mobility.

We methodically design each feature to offer the best breeding experiences. And it shows, as our rat breeding racks are trusted by thousands of breeders around the world!

Versatile Racks for Breeding

In addition to breeding mice and rats, our customers use these racks with gerbils, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and more. You can also make future adjustments as your rodent population grows and changes.

We offer two types of rat breeding racks:

  1. Racks with one-piece stainless shelves
  2. Racks with tubs and individual stainless steel lids.

Each has its advantages, so let’s walk through the features and uses of each, and consider why you might want one over the other.

Rat Breeding Racks with Shelves

We offer rat racks with a one-piece stainless steel shelf. This shelf acts as the lid for the tubs below, which can slide easily in and out of the rack.

Read on to learn more about this and many other features:

One-Piece Shelf

The one-piece shelf is the cornerstone of this design.

We make the shelf from a thick stainless steel sheet and punch out a carefully designed hex pattern that maximizes airflow, maintains strength, and ensures it withstands years of use.

Rat Watering System

With our breeding system, you can use many standard bottles for your rats, like bottles of water, soda, or Gatorade that you would’ve otherwise thrown out.

Rats and other rodents will chew on anything and everything. That’s why we added a shielded water bottle hole to the lid, so rodents can’t chew on and damage the water bottles.

Learn more about our watering systems, bottle nozzles, bottle holders, valve clips, and more!

Accessory Rail

The one-piece molded ABS plastic shelves that the tubs sit on have an accessory rail on all four sides, where you can mount anything you need to the side of your rack.

For example, our water bottle holder slides onto the rail and keeps your bottle in place.

Locking Wheels

You put the rack where you wanted it, but now you need to relocate it. No problem! Just unlock the front wheels and roll it out of the way!

Rust Resistant Materials

Nearly everything on the rack is made from stainless steel, ABS plastic, and galvanized steel. It’s very easy to clean and will last for years of use.

Rat Breeding Racks with Tubs & Lids

We also offer a different take on rodent breeding racks with our rodent lids. Each rodent breeding tub has a one-piece, stamped stainless steel lid.

The One-Piece Lid

Like the shelf, we make our rodent lids from a single piece of thick stainless steel. Compared to a wire lid, they’re more durable, rust-proof, and won’t easily bend. You also don’t have to worry about wires breaking loose, creating dangerous gaps.

Another advantage of our rodent lid is that it creates a better seal with the top of the tub, further preventing escape.

Features of the One-Piece Lid

There is some overlap with the features of the one-piece shelf racks, but we will go through the features and make some comparisons along the way.

Ample Airflow

Rats, like other rodents, tend to give off a lot of heat. So, we ensure that our shelves are far enough apart to allow plenty of air movement.

The lids themselves also improve ventilation through the hex pattern.

Built-in Food Trough

Our lids have a built-in food trough that keeps the food from getting scattered and makes it easily accessible to the rats.

Shielded Water Bottle Hole

Just like our shelves, the water bottle hole is surrounded by stainless steel to prevent your water bottle from getting chewed on.

Locking Wheels

Don’t worry about your rack being stuck in one place once it is set up. Our racks come standard with locking casters that allow you to get at those outlets or move the rack for cleaning or any other reason.

Rust-Resistant Materials

We make this rack entirely from rust-resistant materials like ABS plastic, stainless steel, and galvanized steel.
