Comment 1: I feel that the change in housing requirements for mice, specifically requiring the removal of either the male, one of the females, or the dam and her litter after delivery from the cage once a liter is dropped in a cage of triplets. This will serve to increase greatly the costs of breeding. Further, there is no firm scientific evidence that this is beneficial nor is there consensus amongst experts in this area. I strongly recommend that this not be adopted for use in the Guide.
