Here's what our website says: "MICRO-TATTOOING RODENTS Permanent identification is essential for proper record keeping and the maintenance of rodent colonies. Micro-tattooing is an alternative to toe-clipping as a method of permanent identification of rodents. This method is safe and easy to administer. Please review the following website for more information regarding the technique: http://www.ketchum.on.ca/aramis1.html#Importance. If you are interested in learning more about this technique, please contact Sherri Goss at XXX-XXX-2007 to set up a training session." The link in the above paragraph is incorrect. Try here: http://www.ketchum.on.ca/pages/lab_animals/lab1.htm for the machine that's recommended. Sherri's e-mail is slgoss**At_Symbol_Here**ucdavis.edu and I'm sure she'll be happy to chat with you.
