Comment 1: 1. Please allow harem breeding: At our institution we are only allowed one male and one female in a mating cage. This is highly inefficient and costly, limiting production of pups. There is no harm in having two moms and litters in a cage. 2. increase the maximum number of mice per cage to 6. It is extremely costly to do mouse work and the rising costs and limited space are pushing investigators away from this important work.
