Abstract
A laboratory animal cage including a basin and a removable hood positioned which define an inner space that is closed and not accessible from the outside. The basin includes a flat bottom wall and sidewalls joined thereto, which define a first support edge. The hood is tray-shaped to define a second engagement edge and includes a main cover wall. Positioning the hood over the basin prevents the inner space from being accessed via the opposing first support edge and second engagement edge. With the bottom of the basin positioned on a support plane, the maximum distance between the first support edge and the support plane is 110 mm or less. Additionally, at least 50% of the inner surface of the bottom wall has a minimum height measurement to the inner surface of the hood of at least 127 mm, which is available for an animal.
