hi, just wanted peoples thoughts!
easy to say not everyone uses lab rodent tubs/cages .. so my question is how and where do people put the food they are feeding the rodents . are people making a basket to hold the pellets so the rodents dont walk over their food or is it o.k just to put the food on the bottom of the cage? as ive done both in the past . but was worried out them doing their business on their food as well as food wastage.. a few pics would also be good for ideas on how people have done there tubs .. |
