The NestLab Rat house is the larger shelter in the NestLab range, sized for rats. An Essential or Advanced Node seats on top exactly as in the mouse shelters.
Because the node opening is the same on all NestLab houses, one set of nodes, caps and chargers can serve both mouse and rat colonies.
Why it helps
- Sized for rats, with the same node cradle as the mouse shelters
- Same nodes and Smart Charger for mice and rats, so fewer spare parts to stock
- Cage-washer safe and autoclavable, so it goes through the normal cage-change routine
- Pack of five, one house per cage
