Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a pet breeding container for breeding pets such as ferrets belonging to the family Mustelidae.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, pets such as ferrets are increasingly being bred as a place of interest for breeders and as a means of emotional education for young children. The main problem with keeping pets is cleaning pet manure and eliminating the lack of exercise. Manure cleaning, if not done frequently, suffers from foul odors and, above all, is unsafe. Also, lack of exercise of the pet can lead to stress on the pet and even death in severe cases. Ferrets, which are examples of pets, are animals that digest food very quickly and excrete them in about 3 hours, and are also said to be very susceptible to the effects of stress due to lack of exercise. Therefore, when breeding ferrets, etc., it is necessary to perform frequent cleaning and pay special attention to prevent lack of exercise.

[0003] A general pet breeding container includes a tray for receiving manure and the like, and a cage attached to an upper portion of the tray. Cleaning of the tray is performed by replacing the tray with the cage. It is designed to be removed from the computer. In some recent pet breeding containers, the cage part is divided into upper and lower breeding rooms by upper and lower breeding rooms with a partition plate. The partition is provided so that the pet can be temporarily moved into the upper rearing room so that the pet does not escape from the opening at the lower end of the cage when the tray is removed from the cage. A passage is formed in the partition plate so that the two can move back and forth, and when the tray is removed, the pet is moved to the upper rearing room, and then the passage is closed with a door so that the pet does not move.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in general, the passage of the partition plate is made relatively small so that a pet chased from the upper rearing room to the lower rearing room does not easily return to the lower rearing room. I have. This is because the smaller passage is easier to close (and close the door) when you see the momentary plow of the pet chased into the upper breeding room, and if you hold your hand to close the door, This is because they return to the lower rearing room again. However, looking at the passage of the divider from the viewpoint of pet movement, this passage hinders the movement of pets between the lower breeding room and the upper breeding room, and substantially narrows the pet's activity area in the breeding room. It can be said that it limits the amount of exercise. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pet breeding container that can use the limited space of the breeding room divided into upper and lower tiers as much as possible as a pet exercise area.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as “the present embodiment”) will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the pet breeding container of the present embodiment, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are partially enlarged views of the pet breeding container.

First, the overall configuration of the pet breeding container 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The pet breeding container 1 is generally constituted by a cage portion 3 having a breeding room 7 therein, and a tray portion 5 detachably attached to a lower end of the cage portion 3. The cage section 3 is divided into an upper cage section 31 and a lower cage section 33 with a partition plate 41 as a boundary, whereby the rearing room 7 is also divided into an upper rearing room 71 and a lower rearing room 73. The upper end cage portion 31 includes a plurality of connecting fittings (connecting members) 35, 35. . . Are connected so that they can be easily removed. Although the partition plate pet breeding container 1 is configured to be compatible with any pet, in this embodiment, a hammock 81 is placed in the upper end breeding room 31 as shown in FIG. Pets are allowed to sleep. The pet breeding container 1 is designed mainly for breeding ferrets.

Configuration of Cage Part As described above, the cage part 1 is composed of the upper end cage part 31 and the lower end cage part 33, and both have a configuration in which rectangular net-like fences are arranged on all sides. The upper end of the upper end cage 31 is closed by a net-shaped ceiling fence, and the lower end of the lower end cage 33 is attached to the periphery of the tray 5 with one touch.

Configuration of Partition Plate As shown in FIG. 2, the partition plate 41 is configured to be able to hook and support a wooden cage on the upper part of the lower end cage portion 33, and beside the partition plate 41, an upper rearing room 71 and a lower end. 43 are formed between the breeding rooms 73 so as to allow a pet to move between them. The opening 43 of this embodiment is formed by making the width of the partition plate 41 smaller than the width of the cage portion 3 so as to take advantage of the difference between the two. Notches may be used, or a gap between the two may be used as an opening by using two narrow partition plates. It should be noted that in any case, the opening 43 must be large enough to allow the breeding pet to pass through. The opening 43 is opened and closed by a closing plate 91 described later.

Closing Plate As shown in FIG. 3, the closing plate 91 is formed in a ladder shape having a plurality of horizontal bars, and when the opening 43 is opened, the closing plate 91 is used as a ladder for elevating and closing the opening 43. Is attached to the cage fence at the other end of the opening 43 and is used as a closing door in each case. The interval between the horizontal bars constituting the closing plate 91 is set to a length that does not allow the pet to fall from the gap between the horizontal bars in consideration of the size and the stride of the pet to be bred. When one end 91a of the closing plate 91 is inserted from the closing plate insertion opening 32 formed at the upper end of the lower end cage portion 33 and placed on the upper portion of the tray portion 3, the other end 91b is closed at the closing plate insertion opening 32. The opening 43 is formed to have a length sufficient to be supported (inserted and supported) in a state where it is inserted, and to have a width sufficient to prevent a pet from coming through the opening 43. As described above, the closing plate 91 is very convenient because the opening 43 can be closed and opened with one touch while the other end 91b is inserted and supported in the closing plate insertion opening 32.

How to Use the Closing Plate When the tray section 5 is removed from the cage section 3 for cleaning or the like, the following is performed. That is, when the pet is in the upper rearing room 71, the opening 43 is closed by the closing plate 91 so that the pet cannot come and go. In the meantime, the tray section 5 is removed from the cage section 3, and when the cleaning or the like is completed, the tray section 5 is returned to its original state. The traffic between the lower breeding room 73 and the upper breeding room 71 is enabled. On the other hand, when the pet is in the lower rearing room 73, the pet is driven up to the upper rearing room 71, and then the opening 43 is closed using the closing plate 91. The operation after closure is the same as described above. When the closing plate 91 is inclined, the rearing room 7 and the upper end rearing room 71 form a stepped rearing room 7 through the opening 43, and the pets reared therein are: It is possible to run up from the lower breeding room 73 to the upper breeding room 71 at a stretch by using the closing plate 91, or conversely, run down. Therefore, since a considerable amount of exercise can be secured in the limited space of the breeding room 7, stress due to lack of exercise is hardly felt.
