Breeding of the Cairo Spiny Mouse (Acomys cahirinus) in Laboratory Conditions
The Cairo spiny mouse ( Acomys cahirinus ) is a unique animal model for studying ontogenesis and regeneration. Meanwhile, some peculiarities of its biology, specifically, low fecundity and hence the small litter size, significantly complicate experimental research. This work was aimed to study A. ca...

| description | The Cairo spiny mouse (
Acomys cahirinus
) is a unique animal model for studying ontogenesis and regeneration. Meanwhile, some peculiarities of its biology, specifically, low fecundity and hence the small litter size, significantly complicate experimental research. This work was aimed to study
A. cahirinus
behavior and reproduction and to create a breeding colony in laboratory conditions. Here, we describe the specific features of
A. cahirinus
colony maintenance and management, including some handling and experimental techniques, methods of nutritional and housing optimization, as well as of animal marking for individual identification. Some reproductive indices of
A. cahirinus
colony are also provided. We modified the animal diet by supplementing it with dried arthropods, an important component of the
A. cahirinus
natural diet, and created environmental enrichment conditions by placing running wheels, tunnels and huts into each cage. Our efforts yielded more than a 50% increase in
A. cahirinus
population over 9 months and a 98% overall survival rate of its offspring. |
