Detailed feeding patterns of the first phase of a meal were recorded by direct observation in mice. It was found that fasting increased duration of uninterrupted feeding bouts and shortened non-feeding intervals. Eating of normal palatable food increased duration of successive feeding bouts, but did not influence the duration of non-feeding intervals. Bitter food markedly inhibited the lengthening of successive feeding bouts, but did not influence the duration of non-feeding intervals. It is…

TLDR
Results suggest that where the animal is unable to engage in functional feeding to reduce nutrient deficit, it may still continue to engaging in feeding by directing its feeding behaviour to other alternative stimuli, and the precise form of feeding behaviour will depend on the interaction between the feeding tendency and the choice of available stimuli.

ETHOLOGICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE REGULATION OF FOOD INTAKE
TLDR
It is one aim of the present paper to illustrate this point that ethologists pay much attention to the interaction of the various systems and to the influence this may have on the overt manifestation of any single one of them.
Behavior changes in CBA mice as a result of one goldthioglucose injection.
TLDR
It was found that these males, whether or not obese, only rarely fight with other males and that they have a very low tendency to mate and that hungry GTG treated mice may fight for their food, although their aggressiveness in other respects has decreased markedly.
