Description

  The present invention relates to an animal breeding cage for keeping animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, owls and the like.

  In recent years, the popularity of small dogs has increased, and animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, owls, etc. (in this specification and documents for claims of utility model registration, these are collectively referred to as “domestic animals”. The number of households that keeps up is increasing. And especially when raising such animals indoors, they are usually kept in cages.

  As a general cage, a tray body of a predetermined size formed of plastic or the like, an insulator having an opening provided at the top of the tray body, and a wire mesh provided at the top of the insulator to form a predetermined breeding space Some are equipped with panels. An animal raised in such a cage is usually fed by a food container provided in the cage, and water is fed by a water feeder. And the excreta excreted in the cage falls to the tray body from the opening of the insulator.

  However, in such a configuration, the manure that has fallen into the tray from the opening of the insulator gives off an odor, so it must be cleaned frequently. In that case, the animal is taken out of the cage and the panel and insulator are removed. In this state, the inside of the tray must be cleaned, which takes a lot of labor and time, and is exposed to odor for a long time.

  Then, as what was made easy to clean with this kind of cage, there exists a birdcage which provided in the lower part of the insulator and the drawer | drawing-out which becomes a dirt receptacle easily, for example (refer patent document 1). .
