Comment 1: The requirements for housing rat mothers with litter will impact our institution. New larger cages and racks to hold them will need to be purchased. The requirements for housing female mice with litters will also impact our researchers due to the limitations of the current floor space in the IVC cages. The mice and rats have been doing well under the current housing conditions, therefore these new requirements will have a detrimental economic effect if caging/racks need to be re-purchased.
