Handling & Acclimatizing
5. We give them 2 days in the test room, playing with them in & out of their cages, so they are comfortable with us and the room, before starting swimming. They have also been handled by us intermittently since birth, so they are happy with people.
6. Smells are very important. Even subtle amounts of perfume can confuse ! "bad" smells are totally out, e.g. rats & especially cats. If you have a pet cat, it might just work if you shower & change into fresh clothes at the lab.
