Mouse handling

Non-aversive handling techniques, such as the tunnel and cup technique, reduce stress and anxiety in mice. More information on these handling methods can be found here. If using handling tunnels, mice can also be trained to voluntarily enter the tunnel.

The mice are voluntarily entering the handling tunnel and climbing on the experimenter's hand. A detailed handling protocol on the voluntary tunnel handling will be provided on the Refinement Wiki soon.
