Before using ALPHA-dri®, we had leaking water valves and cannibalization. Since switching to ALPHA-dri®, we have less water leaks with this breeding and 90% less cannibalization. I would absolutely recommend ALPHA-dri®.
“We have seen a decrease in the number of spot changes based on our spot change criteria using the ADP (ALPHA-dri® PLUS). We have also had one lab group that was seeing an unwanted estrogenic induced phenotype. We removed from corn cob bedding and switched to ADP and the phenotype was no longer seen moving forward.”
“We use the Shepherd Shacks and they help keep our mice happier, warmer and healthier!”
