For animals procured from commercial vendors, completed requisition forms should be returned to the ARP office no later than 11:00am on the Thursday before the week the animals will be needed. Delivery is usually the following Tuesday.

For animals procured from other sources, the principal investigator should contact the ARP (x6-4560) at least 30 days prior to ordering the animals to discuss issues such as rodent health status, numbers required, and housing space/caging available.

Learn about obtaining rodents from other than usual commercial sources (i.e., an Academic Institution or another vendor).
