Abstract
The cage was designed for holding and breeding rabbits, and can also be used for holding cats for short periods. Single cages can be joined back to back: this larger cage can also be used for breeding rabbits, and the longer-term holding of cats. When not in use cages fold into compact units, saving storage space and labour, as many cages may be autoc1aved, boiled or steamed at once. Repair, maintenance and replacement costs of the cages are lower than for conventional cages.
