laboratory mouse cages wanted

Post by D.P.Johns » Thu, 29 Apr 1993 02:27:15



I'm trying to find a mail order company that sells the laboratory mouse
cages. Each cage has a tub and a lid with a slot to hold a water bottle
and a depression to hold food. Does anyone know of a company that sells
these?

Check out an issue of "Science".  It's dominated by biochemistry these
days, and is replete with ads for these.

I looked into getting these about five years ago to house my feeders in. I was
able to find a pet store that could order them from one of their suppliers, but I
didn't order them, because the supplier wanted ~$65.00 EACH for them. Ordinarily,
I guess, they sell these to labs and universities, who maybe don't quibble about
the price, but I found the cost a little prohibitive just for the convenience. I
decided to stick with keeping them in fish tanks with screen lids.

The main beneifts of these cages, as I saw it, were that you didn't have to open
the cage to cahnge water or food, and they couldn't pee all over their food or
bury it, like mine do.
