ABSTRACT:
Laboratory animal shipping containers having a generally cylindrical configuration container housing may be stacked and the stacks placed in a close packing density arrangement while still affording adequate air ventilation substantially entirely around the containers. The generally cylindrical configuration container housing is formed by two substantially symmetrical and interchangeable mating halves each having a substantially circular base and a ventilated side wall depending or extending from the base. A plurality of mating tabs or flanges extend from the perimeter of the side wall of each mating half. A slotted strap or locking band is formed with elongate spaced slots around the locking band for sliding over flush pairs of mating tabs around the middle of the container for securing the mating halves together at the roots of the tabs. Radial partitions define a plurality of compartments within the container housing. At least one base is formed with score lines or tear lines defining a plurality of holes to be opened along the score lines for loading or unloading animals in the respective compartments. A plurality of inner score lines or tear lines define loading holes. Lids are provided for securely covering the loading holes during shipping. A plurality of outer score lines or tear lines are formed around at least a portion of the inner score lines and define the unloading holes.
