Hyia,
I am in South Wales and can't travel. But I like to know the best sites to buy tanks. Two I got now are from family. But I am looking for something I can use to separate the pups when it time from the parents and siblings until they are sold.
The ones I look at in my local P&H and amazon are way too small to keep two in comfortably.
Thank you,
Moondancer

Diversa fish tanks come in good sizes, though a large, new fish tank is always going to be expensive. You could also look at second hand selling sites as people often sell second hand tanks there. I had a rodent tank custom made by Junglepets but to be honest I think I was overcharged for the quality of the workmanship. In future I'd just buy a Diversa tank or a second hand one and make my own lid.

After being scammed in the past I don't trust secondhand. I checked out the site you provided. I did look at reptile places for tank too but few weren't suitable I felt

NACD Aquariums are also a good choice, only seen them on ebay though (Btw Diversa are on ebay too), same as Diversa, it's not a cheap option. Best £/ltr for NACD is the 300ltr tank (the one I got), above that the price goes nuts!

And I was thinking if I ever needed another tank I'd go to junglepets as their quite a bit cheaper, care to elaborate re their workmanship?

It's a blurry photo, but you can probably see here that the corners aren't quite aligned.  The lid was made of green (possibly treated) wood, and it grew green spots after a few months. The mesh isn't cut straight, doesn't lie flat on the wood but sticks up sharply in places and the staples are all over the place.  It doesn't affect the function of the tank at all, but I did expect a better standard of workmanship for £250. The misaligned corners don't bother me too much but the obvious lack of care taken over the lid really does. |

Wow,
In fact they wanted extra charge to deliver to my area. I have always used fish tank, but wasn't sure what size I should get to keep group four boys and two girls together (separate tanks). I heard females don't get along more than two...
I have seen a 20 gallon tank on amazon cheap enough, but not sure this big enough for four males.

Wow! That is truly dire build quality! I'd be kicking off at them for that!
(Although a badly built metal ladder I bought, I never got around to complaining to them about that, that was 3yrs ago, hmm, never too late to complain at least! lol).
