Don't rodents, and infact most Gilres, really enjoy being in tight confined spaces? Like, that comforts/relaxes them?
Same reason bunnies are totally chill hanging out inside the fake bottom of a magicians hat.
Ornithologists do something similar when they have to handle a small bird in the field or in a lab: the ice cream cone grip

my conure loves ice cream cone hold. he will try to pull my hand until I do it
Who knew that even birds could be fans of bondage
Tell me you have never had a pet bird without telling me you have never had a pet bird. If any animal were to ever be into bdsm, it's going to be birds.
Do you think he might like the warmth? Parrot feet don't have the feather insulation owl feet have, and I believe their circulation actually restricts to barely keep feet above freezing and save most warmth for their torso. Sounds uncomfortable.
The bags are often used to administer injections or decapitate a mouse or rat in lab settings iirc
And erm….why are they decapitating mice?
Cuz they couldn't get ahead.
So they can dissect them. Can't use drugs cause that'll potentially impact the results.
They were the Bourgeoisie mice.
Do they make human-sized ones?
Thankfully no, all rats are small.
yes-yes. don't believe rumor-lies of ratmen.
Keep-stay off alert, yes-yes
My roommate and I tried to breed giant rats in college. We were aiming for something cat sized. Anyway, they cross-bred into retardation, over population, ate their babies, and got loose. It was... a thing.
The DecapiCone:
Make injections and decapitation quicker and easier with Braintree Scientific's DecapiCones. Tapered plastic film tubes provide quick and easy restraint of rats, mice, and other small animals. I.P. injections can be made directly through the film! DecapiCones restrain post-decapitation kicking and prevent personal contact with feces or urine. A unique dispenser holds DecapiCones open and ready for use. Simply hold the DecapiCone in one hand and introduce the animal with the other. Animals enter readily, heading for the breathing hole at the small end. Roll and squeeze the large end closed. They may be used repeatedly for injections and simply discarded when soiled. For decapitation, hold at the rear and insert the small end into the decapitator.
Hilarious.
The first sentence had me thinking this was a 'Gen-Z doesn't know PCs' thing.
It got so much better.
The last time I saw this meme, someone commented that these bags are made and used so that the mouse can be euthanized after an experiment. Supposedly this holds the mouse in place so that it can be "cleanly" decapitated.
Would be cool if it would eat bugs and you could take it around your house and hoover up all the insects you find.
