Abstract
Ovariectomized and intact adult virgin female mice presented with two 1-day-old mouse pups built larger nests and more nests rated “maternal” than did intact animals not proffered young. Virgin females presented with live 1-day olds behind a wire partition in their homecages also constructed larger nests and more nests rated “maternal” as compared to animals presented with freshly killed 1-day olds, 19-day olds, or with no pups behind the partition.
