Title Maternal behaviour in the golden hamster: responsiveness to young in virgin, pregnant, and lactating females Type Journal Article
Year 1966 Publication Animal Behaviour. Abbreviated Journal Anim. Behav.
Volume 14 Issue 2-3 Pages 310-313
Keywords
Abstract Summary Three groups of eight female golden hamsters without prior breeding experience were presented with three newborn pups for a 15 min test period. Group V were virgin females, group P pregnant females and group L lactating females. Groups P and L were tested within 24 hr of parturition. Group V attacked and killed all pups presented. Group P showed maternal responses after initial attacks while group L accepted the pups. Groups P and L did not differ significantly on measures of maternal responsiveness but all three groups differed significantly from one another on measures of attacking behaviour and the eating of young.

Title Maternal behaviour in virgin female golden hamsters: Changes consequent upon initial contact with pups Type Journal Article
Year 1966 Publication Animal Behaviour. Abbreviated Journal Anim. Behav.
Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages 7-10
Keywords
Abstract Summary Initial contact with pups of a certain age causes changes in virgin female hamsters' behaviour with pups of another age. This was shown by comparing the behaviour with 5-day-old pups in groups of naive (control) animals and of animals given one previous contact either with 1, 5 or 9-day-old pups. Maternal responses were more intense in the animals previously presented with 1 or 9-day-old pups than in the control animals. Attacking was increased after initial contact with 1-day-old pups and decreased after initial contact with 9-day-old pups. Animals presented twice with the same pattern did not show marked changes in either of the two activities.
