Abstract
A cage for small animals has on a wall thereof a mounting plate fixed thereto over an opening in the wall and a holding tube inserted through the mounting plate and fixed thereto with an inclination such that the spout of a water dispenser can be inserted from outside the cage through the holding tube and be thus held in a simple yet securely mounted state with the dispensing end thereof inside the cage. The cage also has a latch device comprising a ring-shaped catch fixed to outer face of a wall and projecting outward and a flexible coil spring fixed at its ends to the free edge of a door to form a closed loop, which is forced under tension to slip around the catch, over-riding the round lobe thereof.
