Here a link;
Building a rat rack
I had to modify the plans, as my tubs were slightly different measurements. the only power tools I used were a circular saw and a drill.
The hardware cloth I used is 1/2' x 1/2', so dogfood falls through. Lab diet could probably be fed on the top. I have to use food bowls, which wastes food as it gets spilled and soiled. The link tells you about how to get 1/3' x 1'3' hardware cloth, but you have to order a big roll.
I recently made a prototype feeder for 1 shelf that is like a lab-style feeder using a cut-up spice rack (1/3' wire spacing)with a cut-up 6 qt tub as a holding bin. it seems to be working. I might post a pic sometime. The only drawback is I have to lift it up to get the drawer all the way out.
Other than that, I love the rack. By using an extra tub, and swapping them clean-for -dirty one at a time, I can clean the whole rack in 15 minutes.
