Procedure For
Shipping Animals From Institution To Institution
When shipping animals from one institution to
another, you must follow the steps below:
-
Obtain a transport box. You may purchase a transport box from Laboratory Animal Services.
-
Include dividers if shipping
animals that must be separated. Upon request, you can obtain such dividers from Laboratory
Animal Services.
-
Fill the transport box with
bedding. Simply
fill the box with the same bedding the animals are using at present.
-
Include water source. Some examples of a water source would be
such things as potatoes or commercially purchased Napa Nectar that can be
obtained through Laboratory Animal Services.
-
Include food source. The best food source would be to give the animals a few pieces of the
food they are currently receiving.
