Cleaning of enclosures. 1. There was an excessive accumulation of fecal material present on the horizontal surfaces of the enclosure housing 2 chinchillas as well as present on the floor of the animal room extending to an area about 12 inches wide around the base of the chinchillas' enclosure. Per this Section of the Regulations, excreta shall be removed from primary enclosures as often as necessary to minimize disease hazards, to prevent contamination of the animals, and to keep the premises clean. The chinchilla enclosure and the floor of the animal room need to be cleaned, and excreta needs to be removed from both the enclosure and the floor of the room on a more frequent basis for the health of the animals. Correct immediately. NOTE - Exit interview held 9/21/16 on-site with Licensee. Report delivered by e-mail 9/23/16.
