Safe and time saving enrichment.
The Cocoon Difference: Instinct Meets Innovation
The Cocoon is a small, lightweight, cylindrical nesting material made from 100% pure cotton cellulose. Engineered specifically for laboratory environments, its tightly packed short fibers encourage rodents to actively rip and pull apart material to build a warm, soft nest—exactly as they would in their natural habitat.
Key Benefits for Your Facility
| For Lab Animals | For Researchers & Staff |
| Aids Thermoregulation: Short fibers stay soft and trap body heat, protecting adults and pups alike. | Limits Experimental Variability: Uniform sizing ensures consistent enrichment across all cages. |
| Prevents Monopolization: Lightweight form allows animals to transport it easily, stopping dominant animals from hoarding. | Saves Labor Time: Pre-formed cylinders eliminate the tedious task of hand-portioning loose material. |
| 100% Safe Instinctual Outlet: Satisfies the natural drive to forage, carry, and shred without tangled-fiber risks. | Highest Compliance: Autoclavable, available irradiated, and whitened entirely without chlorine. |
Our Cocoon is also cost effective. Each Cocoon wheel contains 50 individual buds, allowing for 2-3 buds per cage for mice and 3-4 buds for rats.
