Experimental rat feeding cage convenient for replacing cushion material

Abstract

The invention discloses an experimental rat feeding cage convenient for replacing a cushion material. The cage comprises a cage body, an object placement groove, a cage lid, the cage body and the cage lid are movably connected, the object placement groove placed in the cage body is divided into a food placement groove and a drinking bottle placement groove, the bottom of the food placement groove is provided with grid bars, a drinking bottle is placed in the drinking bottle placement groove, an opening of the drinking bottle is provided with a straw, the straw dives into the cage body through a hole, an opening is formed in the bottom of the side wall of the cage body, a cushion material replacement lid can open and close the opening, the size of the opening is smaller than that of a rat, and the opening diameter of the hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the drinking bottle. The experimental rat feeding cage convenient for replacing the cushion material is simple in structure and convenient to operate, the replacement of the cushion material can be completed without transferring an animal, the occurrence of situation that the animal escapes or the animal bites a feeder due to frequent transfer of the animal is avoided, and the working efficiency and the safety are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of experimental animal feeding equipment, and in particular relates to an experimental mouse breeding cage which is convenient for changing bedding materials. Background technique [0002] As an important model animal, rats and mice are often used in various experiments, and rat cages are a necessary experimental equipment. [0003] Currently used rat cages mostly consist of a cage body and a top cover, the top cover is a metal partition, and one side is provided with grooves, which are convenient for holding feed and drinking water. The bedding is placed on the bottom of the cage to clean, absorb and keep warm. The bedding usually needs to be replaced every 2-3 days to keep the breeding environment clean. When changing, it is necessary to transfer the rats and mice in the cage to a temporary storage cage, so that the contaminated bedding in the cage can be removed and then replaced with new bedding. When ...
