For some applications, weight may be critical. For orders where weight is critical, please place orders by weight, not by age. Taconic can routinely accept orders by weight for this model for males only. Please inquire for female options if weight is critical for your experiment. A minimum 10 gram span is required. All weights are weights at time of packing. Mice and rats can lose weight in transit. Orders for specific weight spans will be assessed a nominal fee. More detail on weight order policies is
