Each rabbit cage is equipped with a litter tray and a tray liner which is to be changed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Feeders are to be changed every two weeks or as needed. If using water bottles, they must be changed as needed. Do not refill bottles on SPF rabbits. Automatic watering lixits must be checked daily to ensure proper operation.
Cages are to be washed via the cage washer at intervals of no more than two weeks.
Schedule your work with your supervisor so that this can be accomplished. Flush water lines on rack and take to the room leaving all but one in the corridor, take one clean rack into the room at a time. Place a plastic backed absorbent pad into a litter tray that is clean and free of any urine stone. Begin with the cage on the upper right of the rack and transfer the cage record card from the soiled cage to the clean cage. Then transfer the animal to the clean cage.
