Rats can discriminate between the urine odors of genetically identical mice maintained on different diets.

Physiology & behavior - 1 May 1992

Schellinck H M, West A M, Brown R E

Abstract excerpt

Male Long-Evans hooded rats were tested in a habituation-dishabituation procedure for their ability to discriminate between the urine odors of male C57BL/6J mice maintained on two different diets. There were discriminable differences between the urinary odors of two individual mice maintained on different diets. The rats did not dishabituate when presented with urine odors from two individuals on the same diet or...
