The 6qt Maternity Ward Breeding Rack by Stumps Custom Wood is a professional-grade, space-saving rodent breeding system designed for rats, mice, and other small animals. Built for breeders who prioritize animal health, safety, and efficiency, our racks are trusted worldwide for their strength, dependability, and versatility.
Unlike standard racks, our Maternity Racks are specifically designed for pregnant females and nursing litters.
