The PuraCrinkle NestPad is a portion controlled nesting material designed for use with mice, rats and other laboratory animals. It is manufactured from 100% sustainably sourced virgin kraft paper, which is processed and compacted into a uniform and consistent square enrichment/nesting pad.
Portion size: 5 gram +/- 1 gram, 45 x 55mm ca. 720 Portions per Ctn Pack Type: Bag in Box Pallet Qty.: 80 cartons
• Dust and lint free (undergoes multiple dedusting processes during production)
• Fully autoclavable in original box - inner bag autoclavable also
• Thicker nesting strands create a longer lasting and transferable nest at cage-change
• Highly compressed NestPad increases animal engagement and allows animals to carry out biologically meaningful behavior through appropriate stimuli which aides in the reduction of stress factors. • Springy long lasting nests
• Forage friendly
• Eco Friendly
Why Should I Use Portion Controlled Nesting?
Using a portion controlled nesting medium holds advantages for almost every area of your vivarium;
1. Accurate budgeting and cage cost tracking
2. Easy to dispense - no pulling, tearing or separating
3. Consistent quantity of nesting in each cage, everytime = Less research variables
NOTE: Fully autoclavable and can be irradiated at cost
“The results of this study suggest that providing more naturalistic nesting material allows mice to build more naturalistic nests. Mice built higher quality nests with the shredded paper strips than with facial tissues.”
