A cage defined by walls and floor has a dividing wall thereacross dividing the floor area into two portions. Each floor portion, together with the adjacent wall portions, defines a functional section of the cage. The first floor portion is about one-half to two-thirds the total floor area. The first section has a solid floor portion to receive bedding, and the second section has a screen floor portion or bottom. The screen bottom side, i.e., the second section, is fitted to supply water and feed to the rodents. Most of the waste is deposited on the screen bottom of the second section to substantially increase the life of the bedding in the first section and provide health and economic benefits. |
