ok, so i thought i would create another post about these tubs, so here is the process of setting them up and getting them ready for one of my animals. first i drilled the ventilation holes. i noticed that the plastic these tubs were made from drilled a lot better than the harder clear plastic the Sterilight tubs i was previously using. so that was a plus for me. these drilled nicely and didn't break or crack from the drilling, like the Sterilight tubs would to.
these wooden dowels came from home depot for 5 bucks each. they are perfect for these tubs as they are the perfect length. when cut in half they provide 2 perches perfectly suitable for the interior of the tubs.
1 dowel cut and mounted
if you look ate the picture above, the bottom of the tub has a pretty high lip which is perfect for adding any kind of substraight for terrestrial animals. aspen bedding or red cypress mulch would more than lay in the bottom without fear of spilling over.
after which i gave it a good wash in the tub with scalding hot water.
add some newspaper, the animals water bowl and of course the animal itself! awesome front opening tub suitable for keeping animals, arboreal and terrestrial.
