Repeatedly handled mice gained slightly more weight than control mice.
To investigate these effects, we used a behavioural test battery to assess differences between mice accustomed to the experimenter’s handling versus control mice. To minimise mice stress, methods of moving mice using transparent tunnels or cups have been recommended but are impractical in behavioural tests. However, the effects of repeated handling on mice behaviour remains unclear.
During behavioural experiments, mice frequently experience human contact.
Behavioural experiment battery aids in evaluating abnormal behaviour in mice. Mice are the most commonly used laboratory animals for studying diseases, behaviour, and pharmacology.
