Are you having trouble breeding mice? We are launching a new, easy-to-use recycled paper nesting material.

Not all mice are equally skilled at raising their young. This variation in parenting abilities is believed to be influenced by complexed factors, including strains, genetic modifications, previous reproductive experience, and the rearing environment. Nesting behavior, which is observed prior to parturition, plays a central role in maternal behavior, providing warmth and protection to newborn pups until weaning. Mice construct nests by gathering and manipulating bedding materials to create oval or dome-shaped structures. Providing nesting materials can stimulate nesting behavior and promote the building of more stable nests.

Leveraging the properties of our existing recycled paper bedding, Eco-Chip, we have developed a new nesting material, "White Sticks"!

Features:

Easy to use as a single nesting material for breeding.

• Its stick shape allows for easy putting into and replenishment through cage lid wire gaps.
• Twisted from approximately 80x100mm sheets, mice can easily tear and spread the White Sticks to build their nests.
• The same as Eco-Chip bedding, it produces minimal dust and does not stick to wet newborn pups.
• The sheets maintain their shape without tearing into small pieces, allowing for the stable construction of dome-shaped nests.
• By covering the pups in a dome-shaped nest, it provides warmth and humidity, promoting pup growth.

Also great for enrichment in general animal husbandry:

• Mice can be observed playing by tearing and nibbling at the White Sticks.
• After slightly loosening the White Sticks, they can be inserted through cage lid wire gaps for mice to pull in.
• To prevent fighting, multiple White Sticks should be provided in group housing cages.
• Replace White Sticks with each bedding change.

Safe and secure specifications:

• Cut to a length that prevents entanglement with the animal's body.
• Autoclavable for safe use in SPF facilities.
• Made from the same paper as our Eco-Chip bedding, which undergoes regular component analysis.
