Description
Mouse Transport & Play Tunnels
Picking up mice by the tail can compromise their welfare and affect scientific outcomes, according to the National Centre for the Replacement Refinement & Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs). A growing body of literature indicates that non-aversive retrieval techniques, such as tunnel handling, improve animal welfare.
Refine your rodent handling techniques! Genie Go! handling tunnels are a safe and humane way to pick up mice without causing added stress or anxiety. Mouse tunnels are clean, easy to use, lightweight, and can be used for transport or double as cage enrichment. Reusable, and disposable.
Genie Go! moreover, provide enrichment opportunities for your precious lab animals, whether its playing, climbing, or vibing without (or with!) its cage mates. Thick-walled construction (1/8”) and optional liner increases its utility and life. These handling tunnels come in a pack of 24 with options to add a cap or plug.
Paper Cap: Affixed to one end of the Genie Go!, the cap prevents the animal from escaping during retrieval and prevents handler from bites. Made from kraft paper, it also provides additional enrichment when left in cage.
Paper Plug: Removable paper plug can be attached to Genie Go! after animal retrieval, to facilitate transfer to and from weigh scale, DEXA, MRI, surgical station, etc.
“This small change in picking up the mice leads to…much more reliable and relevant test responses.” Professor Jane Hurst, Liverpool
Each Go! is individually wrapped and shipped in a convenient sized box.
