Sorry can you repeat the question, I didn't see it originally. Radial 
maze testing in mice can be particularly challenging.  In fact, any 
situatoin where you need to food dep mice can be problematic; they do 
not tolerate food dep as well as rats, they are much more finicky about 
what they will eat (many won't each sucrose pellets for example), and 
when they do eat them, they can't eat very many of them so they need ot 
be very small. But what was the original question.
