Cage History

The cage information is "temporary" contrast to mouse or experiment information. That means once the mice in the cage are all moved out, the cage becomes empty and its information (cage type, owner, project... ) will be erased.

Even though the information of a cage is "temporary", the period of the presence of mice in the cage is stored in the database permanently. For a given mouse, you can easily search for all the mice ever staying with it. Please see Mouse Cage History for detail.

In many cases it is not necessary to save cage information permanently. If you do want to permanently save what you do on the cage, add an experiment on the cage and save your work in the experiment. You can search the experiment by the mice in the cage. Please see Add New Experiment and Search Experiments for detail.
