Mouse Habitat
Submitted by Mrs. Bendixsen's Period 8 Class
Beers Street Middle School
Bottom- is made of rug so he can stick to it.
Top- plastic
At the top of the cage is a 5mm thick sheet of plastic that adjusts
to limit the amount of room the mouse has.
To clean the cage open the door, put the mouse in the exercise area,
and close off the holes. Then get a handheld little machine that sucks
up waste and clean easily.
For the mouse to eat we have tubes of water and tubes of protein evenly
on top of the sheet that adjusts. Adjust it a little bit above him and
he can eat. Also put a tube of water and tube of protein on different
sides on the bottom of the cage. On the other two sides put sticks of
chewable food. Then put the adjustable sheet touching his back and he
can eat just like on Earth.
The air filters keep it from odor.
Our idea is based on a plastic adjuster to limit the mouse's room. This
idea also solves eating. Put the sheet down and he will not float up.
This also solves sleeping. Sometimes if you want he can experience no
gravity.
