Food wasting by house mice: variation among individuals, families, and genetic lines.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Nov 2003

Koteja Paweł, Carter Patrick A, Swallow John G, Garland Theodore

Abstract excerpt

Under ad libitum conditions, laboratory house mice (Mus domesticus) fragment considerable amounts of pelleted food and leave it scattered in their cages. The proportion of food thus wasted (in relation to food eaten) varies remarkably among individuals, from 2% to 40%, but is highly consistent in consecutive trials, even when the mice were moved from 22 to -10 degrees C and food consumption doubled. Food wasting...
