Lab Toys
Running wheels, mouse huts, nesting material, gnawing objects—most facilities nowadays are embracing enrichment practices for rodents, but, as ALLA KATSNELSON reports, the consensus for what constitutes good practice—or even what constitutes enrichment at all—has remained elusive. Plus, could this added variability in enrichment practices between labs be affecting scientific data?
