Allentown Ferret Housing Unit, Euro Design – 6 cages with 4703 cm² floor space
Ferrets are increasingly used in infectious disease and respiratory research, and they need housing designed for their behaviour rather than cages for other species. The Allentown Euro Design ferret housing unit is built on Allentown's proven stainless steel rack design with large injection-moulded cages of 4703 cm² floor space and 450 mm animal height. It adds ferret-specific details: removable stainless steel block-offs and 114 mm “J” type feeders with hinged lids.
