FAQ - Nestlab Angled Shelter 5-pack
When should I choose the Angled House?
When should I choose the Angled House?
When height under the cage lid is limited. It fits nearly all standard mouse cages, such as the GM500, where the Mouse House would touch the lid or water bottle.
Does the node heat differently in the Angled House?
Does the node heat differently in the Angled House?
No. Node and temperature control are identical. Only the position of the node relative to the nest changes.
Does the Housing Cap fit the Angled House?
Does the Housing Cap fit the Angled House?
Yes. All NestLab houses have the same Ø 96 mm node opening, so one cap fits all of them.
The NestLab Angled House is the low-profile version of the Mouse House. Its sloped top brings the node closer to the nest and keeps clear of the cage lid and water bottle.
It fits nearly all standard mouse cages, such as the GM500, where a taller house would touch the cage top. The node sits in the same cradle and the heating works exactly as in the Mouse House.
Why it helps
- Low height for cages where space under the cap is limited
- Same node cradle and materials as the Mouse House
- Cage-washer safe and autoclavable, so it goes through the normal cage-change routine
- Pack of five, one house per cage

Good to know
Nodes and Housing Caps are sold separately. The angled shape changes only how the node sits relative to the nest, not how it heats.
