Comparative studies on housing conditions (1996)

Stauffacher, M.

Abstract

The presence of cage furniture and/or deep litter may increase aggression among group-housed male mice, though subordinates have a better chance of escaping injurious fights. Group-housed rats tend to play longer on grid floor, but when given the choice prefer to rest on a solid floor rather than on grid floor.
