title: Rodent housing units for field studies.
abstract: Rodent housing and nesting units were constructed from acrylic and provided with concrete tops. These hexagonal units, placed in a wooded field, were inhabited by deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). The use of the field housing units provided an effective method for observing free-ranging wild rodents.
