Shelter and Nesting

	*Mouse Houses/Iglooss Reduces perceived amount of light while still allowing visibility of animals during health checks. Allows mice to withdraw from direct light, to find a place away from dominate neighbors, relieve boredom and stage a place for nesting
	*Shepherd Shacks Autoclavable and disposable hideaways for rats and mice. Provides shelter as well as a safe shredding material for bedding and nesting.
	*Rat Tunnels   Reduces perceived amount of light while still allowing visibility of animals during health checks. Allows rats to withdraw from direct light, gives them a sense of security, and reduces boredom.
	*Toilet Paper Rolls      Autoclavable and disposable hiding places for mice. Also provides a safe shredding material to reduce boredom.
	*Glove boxes    Autoclavable and disposable hiding place for rats, guinea pigs and other large rodents. Also provides a safe shredding material to reduce boredom.
	*Enviro-Dri    Autoclavable and disposable nesting material for rats and mice. Allows rodents to regulate body temperature as needed. Highly recommended for all breeding cages.
	*Nestlets  Disposable Nestlets offer non-nutritional nesting material for mice, reducing boredom. These are sterilized during manufacturing and are clean packed.

*Igloo with Wheel    Allows mice to exercise ad libitum without eliminating their nesting/housing area. Fits all standard caging.

	*Irradiated Forage Mix    Allows rodents the opportunity to forage through bedding, reducing aggression and boredom.
