Cage Type
There are six cage types in the census:
Type | Mice in Cage |
Mating | male and females together for reproduction |
Breeding | female with pups |
Weaned | newly weaned mice that haven't been tagged or tailed |
Ungenotyped | newly weaned mice that have been tagged and tailed but haven’t been genotyped |
Stock | mice with known genotype |
Plug | male and females together for timing pregnancy |
You can change the color of each cage type in menu View->Display Preference.
To set up a mating cage, simply transfer male and females into a cage and change the cage type to "Mating".
