FAQ - Nestlab Standard Shelter 5-pack
Which cages is the Mouse House for?
Which cages is the Mouse House for?
Recovery cages and larger mouse cages. For standard cages such as the GM500, the lower Angled House is the better fit.
Can the house be used without a node?
Can the house be used without a node?
Yes. Close the node opening with a Housing Cap and the house works as an ordinary, unheated shelter.
How is the Mouse House cleaned?
How is the Mouse House cleaned?
With the cages: cage-washer safe up to 80 °C and steam-autoclavable at 121 °C. It can also be wiped with 70 % alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or QAC.
The NestLab Mouse House is the in-cage house for mice. A cradle on top holds an Essential or Advanced Node above the nest, so the animals get a covered, warm space while the node stays clean and in position.
It is designed for recovery cages and larger mouse cages. For standard cages such as the GM500, where the height is limited, choose the Angled House.
