Our mouse colony has expanded so rapidly that we've hit a space crunch despite getting one increase from the space committee already. Each person in lab "owns" a certain set of cages, and so we sat down to come up with a system to keep cage usage under certain limits.
The result? We each have a fixed maximum number of cages for our mice, but we can loan those spaces to others if we're not using them.
What do we call this system? Cap and trade.

5 racks currently and the building won't give us another rack until after march... I think this will help keep cost down people will have to make choices about the animals they are going to need and euthanize the rest more quickly.
