In order to assess the importance of different enrichment items in cages, a continuous successive choice test was performed with groups of Him:OF1 mice. 32 juvenile mice of both sexes were tested in groups of 4, and 12 adult females were tested two by two. Total duration varied between 7 and 14 days. The 4 test cages were structured as follows: [A] nest box, paper tissues, cardboard roll; [B] paper tissues, cardboard rolls; [C] nest box, paper tissues; [D] no additional structures. The animals' behaviour was recorded by video and observed by instantaneous sampling. After the animals had made their choice, the preferred cage was emptied, and the test repeated with the 3 other test cages structured as before. After the animals had again made their choice, the second preferred cage was emptied also, and the test repeated with 2 cages structured as before. 10 of the 14 groups preferred cage A, followed by cage C and then B. Daily nest site location was confirmed by the video observations: During the light periods, the preference for a cage with nestbox was significant. With rare exceptions, all the mice from one group rested together in one communal nest. Second priority was attached to the cage with nesting material and tubes. Cage D with wooden granule only was generally less occupied than the furnished test cages, and avoided during the light periods. Thus the animals made a clear ranking of preference, which was well correlated with the biological significance of cage structures. In accordance with results from preference tests with individually housed mice, present results support the view that nesting materials, shelter, social contact and adequate space are important environmental features for laboratory mice
