Nestlets - 3600 Per Case

Rodents are creatures that naturally seek shelter in nests. The construction of nests provides them with a protective environment, rendering them less susceptible to alterations in their surroundings, such as variations in sound, light, motion, and temperature. The presence of nests instills a sense of security, leading to a decrease in aggressive behavior and making the animals more manageable, consequently reducing instances of cannibalism. This diminished stress contributes to enhanced weight gain, overall well-being, and contentment, making these animals more suitable subjects for research.
