I dont have an answer, but could be for same reasons why hospitals keep it on the cooler side: Less fungal / bacteria growth. Less mites, insects, bugs, etc.

- pmiller2 6y agoThe GP comment is asking how 30-32 C was determined to be the most comfortable temperature for mice, not why we keep them cooler than the mice like.
- FrojoS 6y agoThat's not how I read it. Anyway, here is my guess for the two questions: 1) The recommended temperature in the lab is based on other factors than the mice's prefered temperature. E.g. comfort of the scientists and technicians, spread of bacteria etc. 2) The temperature prefered by mice was determined by studying them in the wild or in the lab. E.g., if given the choice between two places of different temperature, which do they pick?
