FAQ - Alpha Twist 8kg

How does Alpha-Twist support enrichment?

Each roll can be unrolled by the animal into a long paper strand, encouraging shredding and active nest-building behaviour rather than passive use.

Why is Alpha-Twist considered safer than long-fibre cotton nesting?

Alpha-Twist has low dust content and no long cotton fibres, removing the strangulation concerns associated with some cotton-based nesting materials.

Can the dose be adjusted per cage?

Yes. Technicians can portion the rolls per cage rather than relying on fixed pre-cut units, which supports cage-level optimisation.
