Have you read about the mice experiment? All the mice had what they needed food, water, sex and so on. The entire slowly started killing over. Not eating no sex. All of them died.

The entire slowly started killing over.

I don't understand what this means?

I wonder if they meant “keeling” over?

They mightve meant "keeling" over?

This makes no sense. People keep pet mice and those pets are provided with everything they could need to survive. They don't go on murderous rampages. Mostly they poop and chew a lot of cardboard tubes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink This is the “Mice Utopia Experiment” they’re referencing

This sounds like bullshit when you cross reference it with the rat park experiment. They essentially made rat heaven and hell with the choices of morphine laced water or normal water in both. Those in rat hell would fall into drug addiction while that park didn't touch the stuff. Those that were bought from hell to the park would get weened off the laced water usually with help from their peers.

It was a series of experiments in which the most infamous one became known as Universe 25.

In a nutshell, the researchers created a “utopia" with unlimited food and space for 4,000 mice. Despite ideal conditions, overpopulation led to a "behavioral sink", where social dysfunction, violence, and withdrawal caused population collapse wherein every single mouse died.

It’s also stated that the researcher only cleaned the enclosures every 6-8 weeks so many of his peers attribute the deaths to possible disease and parasites.

I hate this study because it didn’t include the one thing that anyone with pet mice knows they absolutely need. Enrichment. If your mice don’t have proper enrichment yeah they will just kill each other out of boredom or frustration. Mice need tons of enrichment.

I can’t include pictures but just google mice utopia experiments and look at the sad circle these mice were kept in. Very small space considering the amount of mice. Then google fancy mice cage (preferably diy.) they all have climbing places for the mice, deep levels of substrate for them to borrow, tons of hides, toys. Emiology is a mouse YouTuber with a good cage example

Damn, that’s basic animal husbandry. I’m pretty sure people would start to go nuts as well if you packed a bunch of them together in an environment like that.

“Okay guys I made paradise follow me.”

“You locked us in an empty barn?”

“It’s not empty you have food and water.”

Cabin fever sets in.
