ALPHA Twist Enrichment

Shepherd ALPHA Twist Enrichment

The Premiere Rodent Enrichment and Nesting Material

ALPHA-twist™ is comprised of twisted multi-layered paper that is chopped into short lengths. Once in a cage, rodents unfurl and manipulate them into fluffy nests.

Maximum Environmental Enrichment: Species-specific behaviors are nurtured and enhanced through the unrolling of the material for use in nest building. One roll of ALPHA-twist™ can be unrolled into a 5-inch strand of paper!

Customized Dosage: Technicians can custom dose each cage with an exact amount of material to satisfy a particular cage or housing arrangement.

Economical: One bag of ALPHA-twist™ can provide enrichment for over 1400 standard cages. The cost per cage for exceptional enrichment is less than traditional cotton-based nesting enrichment items.
Safer to Use: ALPHA-twist™ is safer to use due to its low dust content and the absence of long cotton fiber strands eliminate strangulation issues.
