Description

A rat and mosquito cage is a type of animal housing unit designed for the study of rats and mosquitoes in a laboratory setting. The cage typically consists of a rectangular or cuboid-shaped frame made of wire mesh or plastic, with a removable top or lid. The mesh or perforated walls of the cage allow for adequate ventilation and natural light to enter the cage, while also preventing the escape of the animals.

The cage is equipped with a variety of accessories such as water bottles, food containers, and nesting materials to provide a comfortable living environment for the animals. In the case of mosquito cages, a small opening with a mesh or net covering is included to allow for the introduction of mosquitoes while also preventing their escape. These cages are commonly used for research on the behavior, genetics, physiology, and diseases of rats and mosquitoes.
