    Optirat Plus Auto-Water Cage Bottom for rack-mounted valves

    Highest Rat IVC Cage Density in the Industry

    Optirat Plus Auto-Water Cage Bottom for rack mounted cages complete with four filters, valve not included

    This uniquely shaped cage is designed to provide the highest density of caging per square foot of room space and provides a multitude of benefits: laminar airflow, slow air movement, removal of waste gas from the entire cage, and a wide front area for easy viewing of rats. The mezzanine level (not included) is highly valued by rats and they are most often found relaxing and exploring up on the shelf.

    Recommendations: This cage comes with the flapper door at the back that can accommodate fixed and quick disconnect rack mounted valves. Some Optirat Plus Standard Bottle and Cap CP79W100P should be ordered if water bottle usage is also planned for some or all of the cages. If using water bottles, order Optirat Plus External Water Bottle/Bag Cage Top CP79T100P, as the autowater top is not compatible with water bottles. The lack of motors, vibration and noise means this cage is particularly well suited for rats in behavior studies, mice who need complex, enriched environments including many structures such as running wheels, shelters, ramps, and tubes and exotic rodentia such as deer mice.
