Embryo collections from unstimulated spiny mice.
Females are lavaged daily until the late follicular phase (~day 6 of the cycle) when they will be paired with a fertile male and left undisturbed to mate overnight. Female mice are then killed 48hrs later and embryos collected for immediate vitrification (Experiment 3).
