Consejos para ratones
Ratones: malla en la plataforma, profundidad y temperatura del agua
Dales algo a lo que agarrarse, y acierta la temperatura al grado.
Platform & Water
1. Cover the platform with a fibrous mesh into which the mice can dig their paws and feel secure when they get there. We found a synthetic underlay (to stop carpets slipping) ; it is whitish and blends with the water (milk). Others have used pot-scouring pads.
2. Make the water just cover the platform by ~5mm. Rats are big enough to feel they are out of the water. Mice are smaller; 1-2 cms is too much.
3. Water-temperature has to be accurate to 1 deg; we use 24 deg C. A couple of degrees colder and they just climb out
