Schematic drawing of the barn. The barn has a floor space of 72 m2, and is equipped with 40 artificial nest boxes. Aluminum dividing walls are 75 cm high, with 11 passages between the four areas. Next to the entrance door into the barn is a separate area for storage of equipment and for handling of mice—this is also accessible to the animals. Not shown are the feeding and drinking sites (3 and 5, respectively, per quarter), the position of the Intelliscales (2 per quarter), and further structuring of the floor with bricks and smaller wooden and plastic barriers or hides (modified from [17])
