Housing and Husbandry of Xenopus for Oocyte Production

Lab Animal volume 32, pages 34–39 (2003)Cite this article

Abstract

Despite their importance as a research model, particularly in developmental toxicology investigations, there are few established standards for maintaining Xenopus spp. frogs in the laboratory. The authors review the literature on handling, housing, nutrition, and breeding of Xenopus spp. for optimal oocyte production.
