Vision Ultra is not “one-size-fits-all”. Each breeder’s setup is unique based on the rodent type, number of rodents, and available space.
This became the driving force behind the design of our new rodent rack. It offers features such as adjustable shelves, versatile tub layouts, and helpful attachments, including casters, water bottle holders, and tub stops.
VISION ULTRA Materials
- Lightweight aluminum uprights
- Adjustable aluminum tub supports
- Fits V-18, V-35, and/or V-35s Tubs
- Durable front-and-back tub stops

From the start, our goal was to give breeders a best-of-all-worlds rodent rack. Each rack component was designed with efficiency, durability, adaptability, and affordability in mind.
This led us to create a cutting-edge system, tailored to everyday breeders and professional facilities, alike.

VISION ULTRA Full Details
Advanced Engineering Design
The Vision Ultra is our highly optimized rodent breeding system. With the help feedback from large and small-scale breeders and the hard work of our engineers, we’ve created the most efficient, durable, safe, and affordable breeding rack on the planet.
It utilizes the Vision V35, V35s, and V18 Tubs so you can breed rodents, small and large, from birth to maturity. There are also several components that you can tailor to your breeding setup, which you’ can’ll learn more about in the following drop downs.
Vision Ultra Drop Trough System
The Vision Ultra is a drop–trough system in which the tubs ‘drop away’ from a trough-style food tray when removed, as breeding tubs sit on support tubes rather than hang from track railings. This was developed with feedback from commercial breeders, whose success depends on efficiency and flexibility. The drop-trough design offers several advantages:
- The trough-style food tray lets you spread food across the entire tray rather than individual hoppers. You can place all the food and water drinking valves on one side of the rack, or put food on one side and valves on the other. A food tray divider with three positions lets you choose the best space for food and non-food portions.
- We offer food hoppers as an alternative to the dividers. This further isolates food from the rest of the tray and allows for more in a smaller space. Food hoppers can also straddle multiple tubs to feed efficiently, while allowing more airflow into the tubs.
- The Vision Ultra holds a lot of weight without buckling in the middle because tubs are supported underneath instead of on the top edges. They also last longer because they don’t bear the weight on the edges, reducing friction on the tub’s upper lip.
- You can mix and match tubs in a single rack to create a “Vision Ultra Hybrid”. The aluminum uprights have a universal hole pattern to fit V35, V18, and V35s Tubs. So, in many configurations, V35s and V18 Tubs are interchangeable on the same level without changing the structure. Simply move a few bolts on the ends to modify your V35 levels for V18 and V35s, and vice versa. You can also get longer uprights if you want more space for supplies.
- When you pull the tub about ¾ of the way out, it drops away and avoids the water valves that protrude into the space. Depending on where you pull the tubs from, you can put as many drinking valves or water bottles as you want in the front or back ¼ of the food tray. You can also place multiple water sources within the same tub for redundancy, so multiple animals can drink at once, or to provide an alternative drinking source for medication and supplements.
- Food trays are adjustable in vertical distance from the tubs, so you can position the food tray tight against the tub for small animals or leave a small gap for larger animals, which makes it easier to slide tubs in and out.
The Vision Ultra requires fewer parts, materials, and labor to produce than most other systems – making it the most affordable, professional-grade system on the market!
Stainless Steel Trough-Style Food Tray
- The only metal that rodents touch is stainless steel. It resists chewing, rust, and it’s free of harmful zinc-plated steel.
- The one-piece, stamped-and-formed food trays feature a unique “Goldilocks” diamond-shaped hole pattern. This hole pattern is the safest shape for rodents, the most secure from escape, and it accommodates a range of drinking valve and water bottle sizes. The holes are slightly smaller than typical, making escape extremely unlikely, but leaves enough space for rats, mice, and other rodents to access the food. This custom shape also maximizes airflow by balancing open space with the thickness of the remaining material.
- There are no heavy welded tubes on the perimeter, making them lighter, more compact, and less expensive to produce. Plus, the food trays can layer on each other for packaging, making the whole system more affordable to ship and easier to store.
The simpler a breeding operation is, the better. Each feature of the Vision Ultra contributes to an optimized system, more functional and less expensive for you!
Anodized Aluminum Tub Supports and Uprights
Tub supports and C-channel uprights hold tubs in place and secure the food trays, which offers many advantages over a rail track system:
- Tubs can be placed in many configurations.
- Tub supports are less expensive to produce with fewer parts and less labor.
- Aluminum is light and affordable, so we make tub support tubes thick and strong. With only a few bolts and a plate on each end, these supports are very easy to assemble.
- The aluminum frame members are much thicker than the steel of other systems, allowing longer racks, fewer uprights, and more tubs to optimize your space.
- The upright’s hole pattern makes each level slightly farther apart than most track rail systems, creating more airflow and making feeding and servicing your water valves much easier.
- The Vision Ultra uprights are stamped with a universal hole pattern so the tub supports and food trays can be adjusted for any combination of V35, V35s, or V18 Tubs.
Advanced Engineered End Plates
The end plates of the Vision Ultra are the lynchpin of the rack design, making it modular, affordable, and easy to assemble. This design avoids expensive welding, yet maintains rigid strength and durability.
Casters, Wheels, and Adjustable Feet
The hole pattern on the uprights lets you attach our stainless-steel bracket for casters or adjustable feet. No additional base-level frame is required– you only need a simple bracket to bolt it to the C-channel upright. This makes moving your rack simple and smooth
Our caster kits come with 4 brackets and casters, 2 of which have locks to keep your rack stationary.
Supply Trays
Supply trays make storage simple and tidy. Use additional food trays anywhere in the system to hold food, bedding, alternate and extra tubs, and other supplies within the same footprint of your rack.
To do this, simply order taller uprights or longer food trays than you need for the number of tubs.
Vision Ultra Watering Systems
Our gravity-fed watering system is DIY-friendly, letting you custom-build your own. We offer a 5-gallon water container with a large access cap to fill it, clean the inside, and access the bulkhead. We can install the self-sealing bulkhead for you and there’s no need for a shutoff valve.
Water Container Holders
We also offer two water container holders – The pedestal holder and the cantilever holder. The pedestal holder sits on the top food tray with enough space for food underneath. The container cantilever holder bolts into the uprights and overhangs to reduce the weight of the container on the food tray.
Two styles of cantilever holders are available depending on your space:
- Hangs over the rack to keep the water container within the rack.
- Hangs outside the rack for full clearance of the food tray.
Utilize Water Bottles
A unique feature of the Vision Ultra is the ability to use water bottles. Our water bottle holders and nozzles fit nearly any water bottle up to 20 ounces, glass or plastic, and can be placed anywhere on the front or back of the tray. Repurpose used water bottles for your breeding system!
Our proprietary water bottle holder lets you place standard water bottles in it and guides the nozzle into the opening. It holds the bottles above the food tray so animals can’t chew on them and there’s no need for heavy, expensive glass bottles.
Breeders use water bottles for many reasons.
- To avoid drip systems that can clogg or have a complex setup.
- To complement a drip system if a water valve fails. Simply install a water bottle until you replace or fix the valve.
- For an isolated water source if you have animals with specific medications, supplements, and test how much liquids your animal consumes for research or health checks.
The Vision Ultra water bottle holder and drip nozzles offer a versatile, efficient solution unlike any other system.
