Defensive aspects of burrowing behavior in rats (Rattus Norvegicus): A descriptive and correlational study

Several burrowing behavioral characteristics of five different, genetically-biased, strains of rats (Rattus norvegicus), with each showing various defensive and open-field behaviors, were investigated to examine the defensive aspects of burrowing behavior. The strains used were the Tsukuba High- and Low-Emotional (THE and TLE), F344/DuCrj (F344), Long Evans (LE), and the Wistar-Imamichi/lar (WI). The THE and LE strains showed significantly shorter burrowing latency, more digging activity, and… CONTINUE READING
