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