Recovery cage for mice. Example of a recovery set-up for mice after any anesthetic procedure. The cage should be clean with no bedding and transparent to allow for observation of RR, coloration, return of righting reflex, etc. Half of the cage should be placed over a warming device, such as a circulating water blanket to provide heat support during the recovery process. Recovering animals should not be overcrowded or recovered with animals that have regained ambulatory function.
