Tree shrew cub incubator

Abstract

The invention discloses a tree shrew cub incubator, and belongs to experimental animal rearing equipment. The tree shrew cub incubator comprises a box body, a glass box door, a tree shrew entering and exiting channel and an allocation box, wherein the glass box door is mounted in the front of the box body and used for sealing the box body, the tree shrew entering and exiting channel is positioned on the left side of the box body and communicated with the box body, and the allocation box is positioned on the left side of the box body. Two glove openings are formed in the glass box door, operating gloves are fixed at the glove openings, the tree shrew entering and exiting channel is provided with a side door for sealing an inlet of the channel, a fan is arranged in the allocation box, an air inlet is formed in the left side wall of the box body, an air outlet is formed in the right side wall of the box body, the air inlet is connected with the fan, and a commodity shelf is arranged in the box body. The temperature and the humidity in the incubator can be kept meeting the growth requirement of tree shrew cubs, a clean space in the incubator can be kept, the probability of infecting the cubs is decreased, feeders can conveniently observe and manually feed the tree shrew cubs by the design of the incubator, and the survival rate of the tree shrew cubs can be increased.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental animal breeding equipment, in particular to a tree shrew cub incubator. Background technique [0002] The tree shrew is a small, fast reproduction, easy to catch and raise, and has a high degree of evolution. Its metabolism is closer to humans than dogs, mice and other animals. Its general anatomy is also similar to humans, and it is a cheaper primate. Biology is very useful and has been valued by many scholars. Tree shrews have been used in chemical carcinogenesis research, aflatoxin-induced liver cancer research, human herpes virus infection research, hepatitis B virus research, and sleep physiology research. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of laboratory applications, artificial tree shrews need to be reproduced in large numbers. [0003] The newly born tree shrews are hairless, their skin is pink, their eyes are closed, they can only squirm, and require special heat preservation and protection measures. Ho...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Newly born tree shrews are hairless, with pink skin, closed eyes, and can only wriggle, requiring special insulation and protection measures. However, the existing tree shrew breeding cages are designed for the growth needs of adult tree shrews. Insulation measures for cubs, and mother tree shrews in the same cage are prone to eat cubs or refuse to feed in emergency situations, resulting in high mortality of tree shrew cubs in tree shrew b
