作者提供了一个更新的2006年报告的成功大规模圈养繁殖的13线地松鼠（TLGS; Ictidomys tridecemlineatus）在他们的殖民地，现在是一个单一的来源供应商的目的繁殖TLGS的几个研究机构。在美国国立卫生研究院的资助下，作者扩大了他们的繁殖能力，并建立了一个专门的冬眠室来安置设施中的迟钝动物。作者报告了关于住房、饮食、环境富集、繁殖、行为和健康的新信息。他们还报告了几项关于TLGSs健康、行为和福祉的内部研究的结果。
The authors provide an update to their 2006 report on the successful large-scale captive breeding of the 13-lined ground squirrel (TLGS; Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) in their colony, now a single-source supplier of purpose-bred TLGSs for several research institutions. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the authors have expanded their capacity for breeding pairs and built a dedicated hibernaculum to house torpid animals in the facility. The authors report new information on housing, diet, environmental enrichment, breeding, behavior and health. They also report the findings of several in-house studies on the health, behavior and well-being of their TLGSs.
