Biczak, M., Pellecchia, D.

Abstract

Access to a nestlet - which was shredded - and Mouse Igloo probably reduced anxiety and has also helped to decrease mortality in transgenic mice.Placing a Mouse Igloo and a tunnel into the cage of group-housed male mice abolished fighting. Provision of various toys and gnawing block resulted in a significant reduction, or even elimination of hair loss and bar biting in rabbits.
