I wish I could run a few of these experiments. Like, what if you continuously increase the size of the pen? What if you introduce some sort of predator or limit the food? What if you give the rats birth control so you can prevent the "bomb then bust" population curve? What if you continuously remove the alphas? What if you continuously remove the non-alphas?

- Asooka 2y agoYou can, in fact, buy a dozen pet mice and build a pen like that. In fact that's what breeders do regularly. There are no laws against it.
