An animal containment device that includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and at least one side wall. In one aspect, the device may also include an opening in the rear wall for insertion of a monitoring module for monitoring the animals within the device. In another aspect, the animal containment device may include walls made from a translucent material having a photosensitive material for controlling the amount of light within the animal containment device. In still another aspect, the animal containment device may include one or more sensors in the device and a monitoring linkage and display for displaying the data from the sensors.

Rodent cage to accommodate monitoring devices

An automatic animal cage monitoring system includes at least one sensor disposed proximate to a cage for detecting conditions within the cage. The sensor data is transmitted by a wireless transmitter system to at least one remotely located device. The system can simultaneously monitor a plurality of cages. A method for remotely monitoring the conditions associated with an animal within a cage includes the step of obtaining sensor data based on at least one condition within the cage and wirelessly transmitting the sensor data to at least one remote location.
