Default cheap tubs

anybody know were to get cheap storage tubs, so i convert them for breeding mice. the ones i bought last time are no longer on sale!

would prefer not to use RUB as they are extremly over priced.

have tried ebay etc, would want something suitable for at least 1.1 mice and a litter.

thanks a lot

lee

RUBs aren't over priced, they are more expensive than other tubs because they are better

What you're saying is like pointing out that a Ferrai is overpriced when what you really want is a Vauxhall

Try Poundland or similar.

I keep my mice in storage containers i buy from Wilkinsons at £2.99 each...you just need to put air holes in them, they are quite large and i keep 10 mice in each and theres loads of room for all of them to run around.
