Abstract
The behavioral preference of mice for various ambient temperatures was investigated while the mice were housed in a wire mesh cage. The animals exhibited a significant avoidance of ambient temperatures of 22 degree C and lower, especially when they were in an inactive period. This result suggested that temperatures a little higher than those conventionally adopted might be appropriate for rearing mice in wire mesh cages.
