Abstract
A new arrangement for keeping moles in captivity was designed by combining newly conceived units and different types of structures previously describe d by other authors. The structure is especially devoted to long term studie s, such as those on activity patterns and reproductive and social behaviour s. A simple and economic system for automatic recording of activity rhythms in moles is also presented and discussed.
