Clear animal holders with black nose cones are ideal for animal research because they allow the researcher to constantly observe the animal’s behavior. A trained rat or mouse can comfortably and quietly remain in our holder for several hours.
A tray is included with each animal holder.
| Holder | Inside Diameter | Holder Length |
|---|---|---|
| Small Mouse Holder (HLD-MS-T) | 1.00" | 3.50" |
| Medium Mouse Holder (HLD-MM-T) | 1.25" | 4.25" |
| Large Mouse Holder (HLD-ML-T) | 1.50" | 5.25" |
| Small Rat Holder (HLD-RS-T) | 2.00" | 6.50" |
| Medium Rat Holder (HLD-RM-T) | 2.25" | 7.00" |
| Large Rat Holder (HLD-RL-T) | 3.00" | 7.50" |
| Extra Large Rat Holder (HLD-RX-T) | 3.50" | 8.00" |
The proper size animal holder is essential for proper restraint. The animal’s tail should be fully extended and exit through the rear hatch opening of the holder. If the holder is too small for the animal, the limited lateral space will not allow the animal to breathe in a relaxed fashion.
