They say when having fever, the mice communicate with peers better. When children are under the weather, they don't seem to communicate better.

- hobbio 7y agoMy bad, you make me remember. When children were smaller, indeed they were quite energetic up to until some quite high degree fever. Now they are older, and fever starts to knock them out sooner. Fever suppressants make them bouncy again still (so no rush to give them until 38.7-ish, as long as they drink well etc).
- pvaldes 7y agoThe problem is how they define a better communication between mice. From an human point of view? Normal male mice fight. You enter in my zone, I'll bite you and chase you off. Normal female mice are more tolerant with relatives and pups, but not with any other female. They can fight also with strange females. This is the rule for the species and the definition of perfect and normal communication. "pacifist" or mesiah mice is anomalous and probably would send a really confusing message for the other mice. "I'm too feverish and tired to fight right now, so let me alone" is common among animals and not necessarily related with autistic behaviour.
