Dark box with holes

The 'dark box with holes' test is used to study the behavior of rodents in under free choice conditions. Like the light-dark box test, it is based on a conflict between the rodent innate aversion to brightly illuminated areas and the spontaneous exploratory activity.

Material

The dark box is made of opaque gray PVC.

Dimensions

  for rats
box inner dimensions (L x W x H) 30х18х14 cm, with inclined front wall
upper holes diameter 2.2 cm
side hole diameter 6 cm
side hole position above the floor 6 cm

Key features

Sliding lid allows to put an animal inside the box.

!  During the experiment put the box into some larger arena with high vertical walls (e.g. 'Open field') to prevent an animal escape through the side hole and to provide uniform light conditions.

Cleaning

The arena may be cleaned with alcohol solution (70%) or standard water-soluble non-agressive cleaning agents. Do not use organic solvents or other chemically aggressive substances. Do not use abrasive cleaning – this may damage the surface of the arena.

Storage

Store in a cool dry place, protect from direct sunlight. Do not put additional weight on the surface of the assembled arena.

Components included
