Shepherd Specialty Papers Shepherd Shack Backless
4" x 4.25" x 2.25"
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. 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 recent 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!

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.

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!
ASAP offers edible, non-edible and enhanced enrichment for all species.
