Elevated Care in Drug Safety Research
In drug safety studies, it’s important to observe animals in an environment that supports their well-being. Double decker housing offers rats extra space to climb, stretch, and rest on elevated platforms—natural behaviors that improve comfort and reduce stress. Rats on these studies receive medications or treatments over time so researchers can monitor how the body responds and ensure new therapies are safe. The housing design also allows for easier, low-stress interaction between caregivers and rats, thanks to a wide front opening. This helps keep the animals calm during routine checks and supports high-quality care. Just like their caregivers, these rats are curious and engaged—excited to "see" their caregivers and other visitors.
