Grip strength test

Hold the animal by the middle/base of the tail and

allow it to grasp a tangled fine gauge stainless steel wire attached to steel

chain 13.2g 2g). Then, lift them carrying the corresponding weight with

their forepaws for a total of 5 seconds. If the animal does not succeed assi 0 seconds onds to that animal. If the animal succeeds holding the weight, move on to the next weight.

Hold the animal by the middle/base of the tail and

allow it to grasp a tangled fine gauge stainless steel wire attached to steel

chain 32.1g 1g). Then lift them carrying the corresponding weight with

their forepaws for a total of 5 seconds. If the animal does not succeed assi the max nº of seconds nds he held the weight to that

animal. If the animal succeeds holding the weight, move on to the next weight.

Hold the animal by the middle/base of the tail and

allow it to grasp a tangled fine gauge stainless steel wire attached to steel

chain 19.7g 7g). Then lift them carrying the corresponding weight with

their forepaws. If the animal does not succeed assi the max nº of seconds ndsto that animal. If the animal succeeds holding the weight, move on to the next weight.

Hold the animal by the middle/base of the tail and

allow it to grasp a tangled fine gauge stainless steel wire attached to steel

chain 25.9g 9g). Then lift them carrying the corresponding weight with

their forepaws. If the animal does not succeed assi the max nº of seconds ndsto that animal. If the animal succeeds holding the weight, move on to the next weight.

Hold the animal by the middle/base of the tail and

allow it to grasp a tangled fine gauge stainless steel wire attached to steel

chain 38.4g 4g). Then lift them carrying the corresponding weight with

their forepaws. If the animal does not succeed, assi the max nº of seconds ndsto that animal. If they succeed holding the weight, move on to the next weight.

Hold the animal by the middle/base of the tail and

allow it to grasp a tangled fine gauge stainless steel wire attached to steel

chain 44.6g 6g). Then lift them carrying the corresponding weight with

their forepaws. If the animal does not succeed, assi the max nº of seconds ndsto that animal. If the animal succeeds holding the weight, assi 30 seconds ds to that animal.

Calculate Grip latency (s) as a sum of the time holding the increasing weights (0-30 seconds).
