Abstract
Most authors agree that a female deer mouse with a young litter does not tolerate the presence of other adults in the same nest with her young (Dice, Jour. Mamm., 10: 116–124, 1929; Svihla, Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich., 24, 1932; Blair, Jour. Mamm., 22: 378–383, 1941). It is therefore worthy to record the finding of two females and eleven young occupying the same nest under natural conditions.Keywords
