Portion Controlled, Disposable, Nesting and Enrichment
SheetNest nesting material is a high-quality, dust-free nesting that is suitable for all rodents, this portion controlled nesting material has been designed to resemble natural nesting materials instinctively used by rodents in the wild.
Thermoregulation is vital to laboratory mice and rats, which is why nesting material must be light, comfortable and warm.
Light enough to drag to the right location, capable of trapping pockets of warm air and is soft enough to provide comfort whilst being strong enough to hold its shape.
The long strands encourage natural burrowing activity and help rodents build their preferred dome-shaped nest. Its high absorption capacity means bedding stays dry for added comfort, once soiled SheetNest is easy to dispose of and replace.
Added enrichment
The European regulations for animal welfare in research (European Directive 2010/63) asks for active promotion of natural activity of animals in the research environment. SheetNest is designed to resemble the natural materials mice and rats use to build their nests.
Animals make their own nest by pulling apart the pre-cut strands of paper from the sheet of nesting material.
Reduced storage requirements & lower shipping cost.
Using flat sheets reduces the amount of valuable space needed for storage and transport.
Control costs with a fixed price per cage
SheetNest provides a consistent amount of nesting material, so you can count on a certain cost per cage.
Labour savings
SheetNest is a portion-controlled and easy-to-dispense enrichment and nesting material. It eliminates the time needed to handle and portion bulk nesting material. With no pulling, teasing or preparation required.
