Brooder tote/bin recommended?

[Bluemonster107]

For quail, I found a generic 50 gallon tote sufficient to hold a heating plate, food and water, and 10 young chicks. As they started getting bigger, I got another tote (thrifted) and connected the two via the body of a plastic pitcher. Worked fine for the month they were inside, and you could feasibly connect as many containers as you want this way.

Please post pics if you do it that way—I'd love to see someone else's take on a "hamster cage" brooder .
