A shipping container for rodents includes a boxlike base defined by a bottom connecting with outwardly sloped side and end walls. In openings in these walls are filter units that entrap contaminants. An interior space of the base is dividable into compartments by longitudinal and a lateral partition that includes a feeding bin. A lid of the container includes an outer edge channel that snaps over a top edge flange of the base walls to form an airtight fit. The lid has raised end portions formed with pairs of openings for further filter units. For use, the base is selectively divided into compartments by the partitions. When filled with rodents and the lid installed, sets of containers may be vertically stacked. As stacked and then closely packed, the filter units of each container remain free for cross-circulation of fresh, filtered air.
