hey guys. i currently feed Freddie in the little plastic tub i got him in.

in a couple of weeks i will be picking up Oscar, who is considerably bigger than Freddie at 3years old haha! I have looked at RUBs on internet, and it's all measured in litres. What size of RUB would you say i should get to feed an adult in? (around 4ft at a guess)

In fact, do you feed adults in RUBs? Advice would be good thanks!

we feed the ones at work in plastic tool boxes think they are a meduim size box. if you go into home bargans ect you can pick up a tube there and judge what size you need. am no good when it comes to liters and tubs lol. its up to you wherether you feed in a RUB or in the viv just need to ensure if you do feed in the viv they dont injest any substrate.

If hes a good 4ft then you probably want to go straight ahead and buy a 50litre rub as thats what most keepers keep their adults in wether or not you choose to feed in the rub is personal preference doesnt seem to make any difference to my lot at all
