Look for concrete mixing tubs at Home Depot or Lowes, etc. They would work well and you can cover one end or half.

Here is a rabbit cage I use as a Hermanns winter bachelor pad.


These would need some modifications done to retain humidity for the RF babies I think.

Yes, you are right Anja. Nice looking bachelor pad by the way! It would be awfully difficult to maintain correct humidity in something like that.

What about a 36 x 24 x 8 mixing tub?? Lowes has them for $13. Would I need two of them for the 5 babies?

I would think two of the concrete mixing tubs would be sufficient for quite some time for them.

Thanks Anja . I'm getting them today!

I have found that I'm building up a collection of these tubs. Their uses for tort keepers are almost infinate.

i really like the rabbit hutches. They are perfect plus I have a cat so the top part is a must. But tubs would work just fine if you dont have any pesky mammals lurking

Do you modify them to hold in humidity? I like these indoor rabbit cages as well, just think they would definitely need mods to retain humidity for Redfoots. (I jump on every one I run across on Craigslist, because they are great for small torts and hatchlings in Spring when I can move them in and out of the house on warm, sunny days and not worry about predators)

I always pick up used one too. I have too many. No I don't modify them at all. I use cypress mulch with a couple hide spots. And when I give the big guys water I always soak down the mulch. Has to be done every day. But it says nice best of both worlds ventilation and humidity.

Do you have pics of the ones you have setup for small redfoots by chance?
