Rodents are warm-blooded mammals that can be found throughout the world. They have oversized front teeth for gnawing and check teeth which can damage buildings, contaminate food, and transmit diseases to people.
Assessment of how changes in husbandry affect an animal can be challenging as most common methods of assessment, such as corticosterone levels, are more reliable for assessment of acute stres...
