I personaly don't like aquariums. I hate taking the risk of broken glass. Back in the day I used nothing but lab cages and they were great. I highly recommend them if you can afford them. However, I am currantly using a very cheap alternative. We use the Sterilite 12 and 15 quart with holes burned in the sides and the lid. I then have a hole cut in the lid for the top of the watter. I stick the watter bottle through this and then screw on the nozel to hold the bottle upright. I keep up to 1.4 in each tub. I use Aspen pellets and only have to clean them every 7 to 10 days. If I have 2 or more large litters or over 25 babies then I clean every 5 to 7 days.

I do agree with you there. I use a ten gallon aquarium as my transfer point, while cleaning the rat cages, they hang out there for a few minutes.

Last year I learned the hard way about how dangerous a loose ten gallon aquarium can be. We had just moved, our house was a mess, it was late at night and we were unpacking stuff. I tripped and fell... landing butt-first on my Rosy Boa's ten gallon aquarium. Aside from the broken foot I got, I also had 50+ lacerations to my backside... the doctor's response... "keep off the foot, a cast won't help, and all that glass will "work its way out eventually". So for six months I was picking shards of glass out of my butt and walking funny!

My rats are in wire cages, my mice are in cat litter pan bins on a rack. If/when I have an overflow of mice I use a few spare ten gallons, but that is always a "last resort"

PS... the Rosy Boa survived the ordeal too! He was my FIRST concern and once I knew he was fine, I worried about the blood I was dripping from my posterior!
