This article describes the design and testing of a novel form of mouse cage enrichment. A cage insert was designed and developed to fulfill a number of enrichment goals pertaining to its effectiveness and practicality (i.e., to improve the environment of mice in laboratories while causing the minimum of interference to the husbandry and care procedures carried out by animal care staff). Behavioral and physical parameters were used over an 8-week period to assess effectiveness, with subjective opinions of cage cleaning staff and physical examinations of the inserts after cleaning being used to assess practicality. Results show that the insert was both a practical and effective form of mouse enrichment which produced a number of enriching effects without adversely affecting the animals, their environment, or the husbandry and care procedures. |
