Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a breeding observation box, in particular to a breeding observation box for tree shrews used in experiments, belonging to the technical field of animal breeding appliances. Background Art

[0002] The common tree shrew is an animal of the genus Tupaia in the family Tupaiidae, with a body length of about 175 mm and a tail length of about 165 mm. Its snout is pointed and long, and its ears are short and round. Both the front and hind limbs are well-developed, each foot has 5 toes, the tail hair is well-developed, the hair on the upper surface and both sides of the tail is longer, and the hair on the lower surface is very short. The head, neck, back and tail are all olive brown or brownish black with green. When breeding in the laboratory, in addition to keeping the breeding cage of appropriate size, there is also a need for heat preservation. The breeding environment of tree shrews can have an inestimable impact on the physiology, psychology, behavior, etc. of tree shrews. Therefore, a breeding observation box for tree shrews used in experiments is needed;

[0003] Among them, the "breeding observation box for tree shrews used in experiments" disclosed in the patent application number "202321648082.1" is also an increasingly mature technology, including a bottom foot, and also including a feeding trough and a connecting rod. The top of the bottom foot is provided with a box body, and both sides of the inner bottom end of the box body are provided with slide rails. Slide bars are arranged inside the slide rails, and a collection trough is installed at the top of the slide bars. A partition board is horizontally installed inside the box body above the collection trough, and a filter screen is installed inside the partition board. Baffles are installed on both sides of the top of the partition board, and a plurality of second ventilation holes are opened inside the baffles. A plurality of first ventilation holes are opened inside both sides of the box body, and a top cover is arranged at the top of the box body. The utility model observes the tree shrews inside the box body through a one-way mirror, and the tree shrews cannot observe the outside world through the one-way mirror. This structure realizes the light-shielding treatment inside the observation box, preventing the tree shrews from observing the staff outside and affecting their physical condition and giving birth, etc.;
