Modulation of aggression in male mice - Influence of group size and cage size (2001)

Van Loo, P. L. P., Mol, J. A., Koolhaas, J. M. et al.

Abstract

It is concluded that aggressive behaviour in group-housed male BALB/c mice is best prevented by housing the animals in small groups of three animals, while decreasing floor size per animal may be used as a temporary solution to decrease high level of aggression in an existing social group.
