Description

Novel multifunctional mouse cage

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical experimental equipment, and particularly relates to a novel multifunctional squirrel cage.

Background

Animal experiments are important media for human beings to directly know life phenomena, and the effects of the animal experiments on the understanding of various laws of the organic world are irreconcilable and irreplaceable. The experimental mouse cage is a basic appliance in a laboratory, and the market demand is huge. However, with the continuous development of animal experiment technology, the demand of researchers for experimental mouse cages is increasing, and in the prior art, both stainless steel wire mouse cages and nontoxic plastic mouse cages have much inconvenience in use, and the specific inconvenience problems are as follows.

1. The nontoxic plastic mouse box is required to take the animals in the cage out to replace the padding, the process is inconvenient to operate, time is consumed, the risk of being bitten by the animals exists, the laboratory for raising is easily infected, the original adaptability of the experimental animals is affected, and the quality of the experimental animals and the welfare of the animals cannot be guaranteed. In addition, in the process of replacing the cages, if the number of experimental samples is large, particularly when the padding of a plurality of rearing cages is to be replaced at the same time, a plurality of mice cannot be put together after being taken out to prevent cross infection, so that the storage of the mice is also a problem.

2. At present, animal weighing is generally that an experimenter puts containers such as beakers, plastic boxes, paper boxes and the like for holding animals on an electronic scale to return to zero, then puts mice into the containers for continuous weighing one by one, and the operation is very complicated. In particular, when weighing newborn mice, the newborn mice are easily infected with other breath according to the conventional method, and thus are rejected by the mother mice, resulting in the death of the mice.

3. At present, a one-way drinking water diet device is usually arranged on a cage net cover of a mouse cage, mice are easy to fight and fight, and the danger of casualty is increased.

4. In the prior art, the body length of a newborn mouse is measured, and the mouse is usually required to be taken out of a mouse cage after being injected with drugs, so that the discomfort of the mouse and the rejection of a mother mouse are easily caused.

5. Most of the currently used mouse cages are stainless steel wire mouse cages and nontoxic plastic mouse boxes, and the mouse cages are not combined with the stainless steel wire mouse cages and the nontoxic plastic mouse boxes, namely, most of the mouse boxes are nontoxic plastic mouse boxes under the daily condition, but the mouse box cannot observe the condition of the excrement of the mouse, if the condition of the excrement of the mouse needs to be observed, the stainless steel wire mouse cage needs to be replaced, and if the condition of the excrement of the mouse needs to be observed, the female mouse and the male mouse are combined, the female mouse bolt is observed to fall off.

In conclusion, it is very important to develop a convenient multifunctional squirrel cage.
