Rat PalaceTM Enriched Rat Cages for behavioural and long term studies.Able's enriched rat cage rack system has a number of housing benefits including improved social interaction in an enriched environment and greater provision for long term/ lifetime studies where a wide range of natural behaviour can be displayed. We have used the foot print design of our popular EC rabbit caging in this rat cage system, enhanced with a solid 4320cm2, Special Polymer cage base, permitting the use of Able's Enrichment bedding and thus providing a cleaner and drier environment for the animals.

Able's enriched rat cage rack is designed to be cleaned in a rack washer at 85C, cages, roof and resting shelves can easily be removed from the cage to allow the rack washer to clean every corner of the rack system.
