Optimised Travel Conditions: We recognise that environmental factors play a significant role in the comfort and health of rats during transport. Our vehicles are equipped with advanced environmental controls that maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels tailored to the physiological needs of rats. This ensures they are not exposed to conditions that could induce stress or health issues.

These items are essential for mental stimulation and help keep the rats engaged and less focused on travel stress.
