Using approach latency and anticipatory behaviour to assess whether voluntary playpen access is rewarding to laboratory mice
Abstract Laboratory mice are typically housed in “shoebox" cages that limit the expression of natural behaviours. Temporary access to more complex environments (playpens) may improve their welfare. We aimed to assess if access to playpens is rewarding for conventionally-housed mice and to docum...
