Time to Incorporate to Nest Test (TINT)

An applicable test detecting disturbed welfare by measuring the time interval mice need to integrate nesting material to an existing nest. The TINT yields a positive result when a mouse integrates the new nesting material into the main nest site within 10 min; failure to interact with the nesting material is defined as a negative TINT.
