bastardcircus: Ok, God, | am fucking wheezing, I got trained to work with mice today since I’ll need them for sore experiments and the guy who trained me was like, “Yeah ok so if there’s a day where you just absolutely cannot get your mice to cooperate you can always do this™ and picks up this cone-shaped bag and just put the mouse face-first into it and shows it to me and I lose my shit because deadass it was a piping-bag of mouse. Like, the whole mouse was pressed into this cone, fur and ears and feet all pressed up against the plastic, tail sticking up absurdly out of the top of the thing. It was so unimaginably fucking funny but like the mouse was perfectly ok with it, there’s a hole for air at the bottom so she could breathe and all but it was genuinely the most absurd thing I have witnessed in months

They are when they’re sedated, which is the only way to image most animals. This is why imaging at the vets costs so much and is shied away from in older animals where possible. The older the animal, the riskier sedation gets, for myriad reasons.
