Shepherd Specialty Papers Shepherd Shack Backless Splittable

Shepherd Shacks offer excellent rodent enrichment. They are manufactured from unprinted, uncoated, white book publisher-grade paper, which is then turned into molded cellulose. They allow rodents to engage in natural activities, including nest building, which helps reduce stress and aggression. They also offer a shelter for mice to breed undisturbed and have been shown to help increase pup survival rates. The Shepherd Shack Backless Splittable comes “double-wide” with a perforation in the middle. It can easily be split in half to create two backless shacks. Shepherd Shacks are clean and consistent, as well as disposable and compostable. You can also opt to autoclave and reuse them, making them an economical choice for your research facility. Shepherd Shacks are also ink-, adhesive-, and glue-free. In a 2020 study, mice preferred the Shepherd Shack over other enrichment devices due to its characteristics in enhancing animal well-being. Shepherd Shacks are also available in multiple styles and designs! Available irradiated. Watch the video here!
