Water Bed Heater System
Water Beds
There are several options for water beds. The simplest is just tubing lying beside or
wrapped around the animal. Many animal handling systems have tubes for fluids that
can be used as a water bed.
Water beds available from SA Instruments include flat and shell beds for mice and rats.
Shell beds have the shape of an inverted U and can cover the animal. The beds are
inserted in a thin disposable plastic cover before use.
Shown below are a shell beds for mice and rats and a flat bed for a rat.
