“…Second, why do individuals vary in their utilisation of enrichment? Like other species [101], mink show consistent individual differences in enrichment use [10]). Perhaps surprisingly, active, stereotypic animals appear to interact least with enrichment objects [10].…”

“…Three broad methods are common: temporary markings (e.g. tail marking with a marker pen [1] or shaving a patch of hair [2]), permanent mutilations (e.g. ear notching [3] or toe clipping [4]), or the addition of permanent identification tags (e.g.…”

“…Coppens et al, 2010): E Manipulation was not closely related to recurrent perseveration; and, furthermore, these animals did alter their behaviour in a major way after being moved to Enriched housing, as we have seen, by greatly reducing their SBs and choosing to rest in previously inaccessible areas. Differential neophobia (fear of novelty) could be another cause: neophobia predicted infrequent enrichment use in mice housed similarly to our mink, with an extra enriched cage available at the end of a length of PVC tubing (Walker and Mason, 2011). However, as mentioned, highly stereotypic mink are not typically the most timid (Hansen and Jeppesen, 2006).…”
