ABSTRACT:
A vivarium specifically designed for rehabilitating an aquatic fur-bearing mammal or bird, particularly a sea otter, includes an improved enclosure having large outwardly flared ports covered with soft flexible netting, curved and rounded joints, corners and edges, and surfaces which are smooth and projectionless. An improved swimming environment is sized to allow rehabilitative grooming behavior and an improved dry environment has weight bearing surfaces that do not focus pressure on discrete areas of an enclosed animal's skin. A further feature of the vivarium is that the enclosure and swimming and dry environments are supported on a base and can be nested inside the base for storage or transport.
