The present invention relates to a rodent wire cage, and in particular, the bottom surface of the wire cage in which rodents are bred is configured in a lattice so as to maintain a balanced sense when the rodent walks. It is spaced apart from the bottom of the rack, and one side is provided with a recording paper storage member that can be detachably stored in the recording paper for recording various identification information for rodents, and on the bottom surface is detachably hung to prevent flow of the internal food supply member It relates to a rodent wire cage configured to be stored.

In general, cages are used for breeding, rearing, mooring, and experimenting rodents such as hamsters, mice, and rats, or raising young animals of the Middle East such as rabbits, cats, and dogs, or mooring or temporary storage.

Such a cage is manufactured in various sizes and structures according to the type and size of the animal as described above, and will be described herein for the rodent cage.

The rodent cage is formed of a wire having an open upper portion to allow the breeding of rodents and maintaining a rectangular parallelepiped.

The cage is provided with a water supply member for supplying water to the rodents are bred therein, the inside is provided with a food supply member for feeding the rodents.

However, such a conventional cage is made only in one of the wire direction or the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface where rodents are reared, so that it is not easy to maintain a sense of balance when the rodent walks, and the comfort is accompanied by stress. In addition, it was not able to raise healthy animals, and because the storage member of the recording paper for recording various identification and information about rodents was separated, it was uncomfortable for the noise and general management of the animals when moving on the one side of the cage. It is easily soiled and difficult to record, and the bottom of the cage is in close contact with the storage rack, the ground and the lab table where the cage is stored, causing the rodent's tail to be caught and wounded, or the feces sticking to the bottom of the cage. Cleaning and cleaning are not easy, and the food inside the cage Supplying member from flowing has occurred a problem that prevents the food supply and intake easily.

The present invention has been devised to solve such a conventional problem, the present invention is made of a lattice bottom surface is easy to maintain a balanced sense when rodents walking, spaced from the bottom of the ground or storage rack, rodents It is possible to keep various kinds of identification information on the recording paper, and to manufacture wire rod cages for rodents to prevent the flow of the internal feeding member, and to be used for research and breeding using experimental animals. The purpose is to provide it to research institutions.
