Collection: Tecniplast Enrichment

The Mouse Swing and Mouse Lounge are innovative suspended enrichment tools that enhance cage complexity and support diverse behavioral needs. The Mouse Swing adds gentle motion and interactive play as it sways under the weight of exploring mice, while the Mouse Lounge provides a stable, elevated platform ideal for resting or accessing food—especially helpful for weaker or recovering animals. In cages with autowatering systems, both components act as elevated refuges during potential flooding events. Compatible with stainless steel and plastic Emerald lids, these accessories can also assist with gentle animal transfers.

• 3D Cage Enrichment: Adds vertical space and stimulation to promote climbing and movement.
• Supports All Animals: Swing encourages activity; Lounge offers stable access to food for less agile mice.
• Emergency Protection: Elevated design provides safe zones during watering system malfunctions.
• Dual Use: Serves as enrichment and transfer platforms; compatible with Emerald cage lids.

The Mouse Box is an engaging enrichment tool designed to stimulate natural mouse behaviors such as nesting, exploring, and climbing. It can be filled with nesting material to keep animals active and mentally stimulated, and it serves as both a hideout and a platform when placed on the cage floor. Its flexible design allows for suspended or floor installation, with a Smart Clip that ensures seamless setup on stainless steel or plastic lids. Compatible with all Tecniplast cages, the Mouse Box offers a simple yet effective way to enrich the rodent environment.

• Encourages Exploration: Promotes natural behaviors like nesting and burrowing.
• Dual Purpose Design: Functions as a hideout or elevated platform for added enrichment.
• Easy Installation: Smart Clip simplifies setup on various cage lids.
• Versatile Use: Compatible with all Tecniplast cages and EM500 lids for flexible positioning.

The Mouse Tecnitunnel is a versatile enrichment accessory designed to enhance mouse welfare by creating a stimulating, three-dimensional cage environment. Its stable, flat-sided design prevents rolling, ensuring both animal comfort and ease of handling. With its conical, hand-like shape, the Tecnitunnel also doubles as a convenient scoop, reducing stress during transfers and supporting ergonomic workflows for staff. Available in red, this enrichment tunnel adds variety and visual stimulation to rodent housing systems.

• 3D Enrichment: Promotes natural exploration and activity through dynamic spatial design.
• Dual Functionality: Shaped for easy animal transfers while reducing stress and direct contact.
• Stable and Safe: Flat-sided to prevent movement in the cage, enhancing comfort and safety.
• Flexible Installation: Can be suspended or placed on the cage floor; compatible with GM500, EM500, and Blue Line cages.

Mouse lofts and pouch holders are dual purpose in cage enrichment or watering devices.  These can be used as a loft with two openings on one side or they can be rotated to hide the openings and be used with a water pouch.  Excellent for a backup to automatic watering systems or bottles and can be used with special water ouch applications.  These offer an effective, space-efficient way to enrich the cage environment by adding vertical complexity. By encouraging climbing, perching, and resting above ground level, these platforms promote natural exploratory and resting behaviors in laboratory mice. Constructed from durable, autoclavable materials, mouse lofts are easy to sanitize and reuse, supporting both animal welfare and research integrity.

• Dual purpose device to be used as a pouch holder or as an enrichment loft
• Encourages natural behaviors like climbing, perching, and exploring
• Allows for area to nest or escape a potential cage flood
• Made from robust, autoclavable materials for hygiene and long-term use
  
• Supports refinement in accordance with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) principles

Mouse mezzanines and balconies offer an effective, space-efficient way to enrich the cage environment by adding vertical complexity. By encouraging climbing, perching, and resting above ground level, these platforms promote natural exploratory and resting behaviors in laboratory mice. Constructed from durable, autoclavable materials, mouse mezzanines are easy to sanitize and reuse, supporting both animal welfare and research integrity.

• Encourages natural behaviors like climbing, perching, and exploring
• Allows for area to nest or escape a potential cage flood
• Made from robust, autoclavable materials for hygiene and long-term use
• Available in red to simulate dark area for mice
• Supports refinement in accordance with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) principles

The Tecniplast Mouse House provides essential enrichment by supporting natural behaviors such as burrowing, hiding, and nesting. Designed with animal welfare and research consistency in mind, it offers a safe and stimulating environment for mice.

• Encourages natural behaviors like burrowing, hiding, and nesting
• Designed with two openings for optimal animal welfare
• Made from durable, stackable, autoclavable materials for repeated, hygienic use
• Compatible with a variety of cage formats and enrichment protocols
•  Red light blocking plastic design will not interfere with auto watering system
• Supports refinement in line with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) principles

By promoting well-being and reducing stress, the Mouse House contributes to more stable, reliable research outcomes.

The Tecniplast Running Wheel offers an engaging form of enrichment that supports the natural activity levels of laboratory mice. Encouraging voluntary exercise, it helps improve animal welfare while reducing stress-induced variability in research.

• Promotes natural behaviors through voluntary physical activity
• Enhances animal welfare and helps minimize stress-related variability
• Constructed from durable, autoclavable materials for repeated hygienic use
• Compatible with various cage formats and enrichment protocols
• Supports refinement in accordance with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) principles

Incorporating the Running Wheel into housing environments contributes to healthier animals and more consistent scientific outcomes.
