Identifying obstacles preventing the uptake of tunnel handling methods for laboratory mice: An international thematic survey
A research article published in PLOS ONE which included an international online survey targeting individuals that work with and/or conduct research using laboratory mice. The survey aimed to identify the handling methods currently being used, and to determine common obstacles that may be preventing the wider uptake of non-aversive handling.
