Pre and post parturient behavior (time of nest lining, location of nest, unfoulness, quantity of plucked hair, litter & size born alive, percent of young suckled and site of a delivery) were noticed and recorded.
In addition, maternal anomalies (nest lined post-partum, plucking of hair outside the nest, no & plucking of hair, eating bedding material, fouling b the nest, inadequate nest lining, eating plucked hair, cannibalism, scattering young, failure of delivery outside the nest) were observed and recorded in the two groups.
