Five baby Asian Small Claw Otters were transported in an enclosure that did not have ventilation on the walls of the enclosure. A lack of ventilation on the walls of the enclosure can decrease ventilation in the enclosure and not provide adequate ventilation to the animals contained in the enclosure. The licensee must ensure that there are ventilation openings located on two opposite walls of the primary enclosure and the ventilation openings on each such wall shall be at least 16 percent of the total surface area of each wall, or there are ventilation openings located on all four walls of the primary enclosure and the ventilation openings on each such wall shall be at least 8 percent of the total surface area of each such wall.
