Researchers have discovered several factors that influence the behavior of field mice, using seeds from dwarf bamboo plants, a species that blooms only once every hundred years. Their findings not only point to the previously undervalued role of mice in the forest ecosystem but also show that they store small sasa seeds for later use. This challenges a previously held model of mouse behavior.
At DRD Knaagdierwinkel, we are always fascinated by the behavior of our little friends, and recent research has given us another glimpse into the world of mice. Did you know that for a mouse in the wild, spotting aerial predators like hawks and owls is crucial for survival? But how do mice process these visual signals into behaviors that help them avoid attacks?
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute have made an intriguing discovery about the social behavior of mice living together. In their latest research, they have shown that the complexity of the environment in which mice grow up influences their social interactions. This provides interesting insights for both scientists and mouse enthusiasts!
Do you also have a little rodent that loves using their multi-room house as a bathroom? Well, not the whole house, but one specific room in it. That’s actually quite logical: a multi-room house has different spaces, and small rodents often use them for various purposes. Think of a storage room, a nest or sleeping area, and yes... sometimes even a bathroom!
