Introducing Mochi Mouse: Your First Step in Animal Handling

Are you new to handling laboratory animals, or do you feel a bit of apprehension about working with them? Overcoming concerns about bites or general unease is crucial for effective research. Learning proper animal handling techniques beforehand plays a huge role in building confidence.

While advanced learning tools like video tutorials and high-performance simulators are invaluable, we're thrilled to introduce something seemingly simple yet revolutionary: Mochi Mouse, a plush toy designed for handling training.

 

Why Mochi Mouse?

Mochi Mouse bridges the gap between theoretical learning and hands-on practice.

• Realistic Feel: It replicates the unique stretch and softness of a live animal with its delightful "mochi-like*" squishiness.
• True-to-Life Size: This plush toy is designed to be remarkably close to the actual size of a mouse, providing an authentic handling experience.
• Practice with Needles: Made of fabric, it even allows for realistic simulated practice with needles, making it perfect for injection training.

 

Ideal for a Range of Applications

Mochi Mouse is versatile and can be used for a wide array of training scenarios:

• Comprehensive Practice: From basic handling to restraint and even administration techniques.
• Cage Change Drills: Perfect for practicing routine cage maintenance.
• Isolator Technique Training: Practice procedures within a vinyl isolator.
• Equipment Instruction: An excellent tool for demonstrating how to use animal-related equipment.

It's highly recommended for anyone new to animal handling, those looking to refresh their practical skills, or educators seeking innovative teaching methods!
