I can confirm that lab mice in our mouse house are alway huddled up together.
Our lab studies E. coli, and mice require pre-treatment to permit intestinal colonization by E. coli. However, about 2 in 5 mice are colonized without antibiotic pre-treatment. I wonder if these are the the colder and more stressed out mice (outside the cuddle puddle).

- pazimzadeh 6y agoWhy not? You don't think mice huddle in the wild?
