Contec NaturalNest

2" square

Contec NaturalNest is an all-natural cotton nesting material that promotes natural behaviors and thermal comfort in rodents. Each 2 x 2" pre-cut square is made from 100% bleach-free, chemical-free cotton that rodents instinctively shred and use to build nests. NaturalNest is lightweight and fluffable, allowing for high volume with minimal material. It is irradiated for cleanliness and safety. NaturalNest is packaged in a convenient, gusseted bag containing 320 ready-to-use squares. The pre-portioned squares save time and reduce labor costs. Just toss it into the cage!

Enrichment is Key to Animal Welfare

Just like humans, animals need a chance to exercise their minds and have control over their environment. And like humans, lab animals also enjoy toys and treats! That's why environmental enrichment is key to animal welfare—minimizing boredom, stress and stereotypic behaviors such as pacing and rocking. It's as essential as proper nutrition to the well-being of the laboratory animals under your care. 


Enrichment products offer animals experiences similar to those they encounter in the wild, such as the opportunity to nest, build, forage, explore and exercise. The result? Happier, healthier animals!
