Nesting Materials
Specially designed nesting materials can provide both nesting
and enrichment for laboratory research animals. These particular
products are preferred by a number of research laboratories.
-
Nestlets™
from Ancare are the perfect nesting material for rodents,
rabbits and other small mammals. Made from pulped virgin
cotton fiber and sterilized during processing, Nestlets
are soft and absorbent and retain warmth without obstructing
airflow. Nestlets encourage the natural instincts of
rodents to build nests, a process that increases their
sense of security and makes them easier to handle.
-
Enrich-n'Nest™
from Andersons is a remarkable enrichment bedding that
promotes animal activity and nesting. Rodents unfurl
the paper twists and nest and burrow in the paper rolls.
The bright white nesting material makes animal discharges
easily seen for fast removal. The dust-free formula
eliminates animal irritations and doesn't clog air filters.
This is a perfect product for nude and hairless mice.
