Abstract
An animal cage assembly (10) comprises a cage (12) supported by a base assembly having two opposite, inwardly and downwardly sloping baffles (34 and 36) which are spaced from one another to form a gap (38) therebetween positioned below the cage and a tray (68) positioned below the gap. There are two paper roll holders (54 and 56) each positioned adjacent a respective sloping baffle for providing paper (76) which can be pulled across a respective baffle for periodically replacing the paper on the baffle. The base assembly is comprised of a mounting frame (16) for holding the tray, and an insert member (14) which is removably mounted on the mounting frame and includes the baffles. Both the mounting frame and the insert member have solid end walls (44a and 44b and 30a and 30b) with the paper roll holders being mounted on the outside of the mounting frame's end walls. The paper passes through slots in the end walls adjacent the sloping baffles through which it can be pulled from rolls mounted in the paper roll holders. Blades (58 and 60) are positioned on the outside of outlet slots (52a and 52b) against which the paper can be urged for cutting the paper in a straight line.
