Clear Handling Tube
Research has shown that picking up mice by the tail induces aversion and high anxiety and generally should be avoided. Datesand have developed reusable 3mm fit for purpose Clear Handling Tubes. Mice are quick to habituate to tunnel handling and the experience becomes much less stressful for both animal and handler.
- Reduces handling anxiety and stress
- Makes animal observations easier
- Reduces the risk of being bitten
About Clear Handling Tube
Although handling tunnels do not have to be present in the home cage to be effective, having a handling tunnel in the home cage increases recognition of a familiar safe site as well as providing cage enrichment. We offer 3 different sized Clear Handling Tubes depending on your needs, including these 110mm clip-on tubes and regular 100mm and 130mm tubes. We also offer coloured mouse tunnels that can also function as handling tubes.
