Natural cotton nesting material to promote comfort and enrichment for lab rodents!

Support laboratory animal welfare with NaturalNestâ„¢, an all-natural cotton nesting material designed to promote natural behaviors and thermal comfort in rodents. Each pre-cut 2" x 2" square is made from 100% bleach-free, chemical-free cotton, offering a soft texture that rodents instinctively shred and manipulate into enriched, cozy nests. To ensure cleanliness and safety, all NaturalNest squares are irradiated* at 25-50 kGy, making them suitable for regulated vivarium environments without introducing contamination risks. 

Their lightweight, easily fluffable form allows for high volume with minimal material-ideal for efficient cage setup and animal enrichment. NaturalNest is packaged in a convenient, gusseted bag containing 320 ready-to-use squares. Perfect for daily use, breeding programs, and enrichment protocols that support IACUC and AAALAC goals. 

Whether you're aiming to reduce animal stress, simplify cage prep, or elevate enrichment standards, NaturalNest is the natural choice. 

*Per AALAS guidelines, nesting products should be irradiated and not autoclaved, a process that could produce an environment conducive to bacterial growth.
