Comment 1: We are opposed to the new requirement that new cage sizes for continual pair mating in a cage that is 65 square inches cannot be done – the female would have to be separated from the male. This greatly reduces the productivity of the maiting, leading to increased animal use, increased husbandry costs or a significant investment in new capital equipment.
