Abstract

The effects on pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time of daily cage changing or once every three days versus no changing for 15 days, was investigated in mice and rats, respectively. The animals were housed individually in cages with solid floors and a layer of wood shavings as bedding. Sleeping times were not affected by the frequency of cage changing.
