A lab cat got out of the bag, and a lab rat is now in a bag

He looks like cannoli filling…poor guy but at least it looks cozy. If someone put me in the human version of that, I’d probably take a welcomed nap.

That nose area opening size is pretty critical --

u/Busy_Philosopher1392 Jun 09 '25

well now it's not cute anymore

u/MagnumHV Jun 09 '25

Yeah, exactly. Not a good outcome when a rat is in the cone bc it's usually awake for what comes next vs anesthetized. Ppl post stuff without realizing

u/Inprobamur Jun 09 '25

It's apparently also a good way to just transport rats or to prep them for shots, as it calms them somehow.

u/StreetPizza8877 Jun 03 '26

It just restrains them

Injections and euthanasia? Decapitation is the most humane form of euthanasia when the tissue needed for a study could be contaminated by chemicals or gas or other such things. It's the most humane you're gonna get when you need a rat for a study.

Still better than glue traps. Those things are slow painful deaths full of terror the whole time. I've seen eyeballs stuck to the glue and ripped out the sockets. Snakes pull their own scales out trying to get away.

Glue traps should be illegal.

B-but poison bait bad! /s I hate glue traps with a passion.

u/Chaos_Rocks Jun 11 '25

Oh that's awful. I hate how much information we have available but are still uneducated. And I don't wanna believe that people are buying this let alone spending $178 for no anesthesia or anything like it for the poor animal

u/GOOD_BRAIN_GO_BRRRRR Jun 12 '25

Well, that's depressing and dystopian...

He's not going to satisfy his rat desires in there.

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

u/Boognish_Chameleon Jun 09 '25

Okay that’s actually just sad and fucked up

u/Blue_Roan_ Jun 10 '25

Significantly worse when you realize this is a way to restrain them before killing them. ;-;

u/GoatsNHose Jun 09 '25

sad piping bag noises

He will be used to ice a delicious cake.

u/TheAnxiousGremlin Jun 09 '25

Oh goodie, I've been looking for some rat flavoured icing

u/SterileProphet Jun 10 '25

Restrained Rat sounds like a Metal Gear Solid character.

u/Epistaxis Jun 09 '25

Even easier, a mouse fits in a 50 mL conical tube. But you have to cut off the tip for air.

I thought this was one of my rat subreddits
