Development of nymphs and oocyte maturation in adults were examined in Blattella germanica (L.) reared on three commercial diets. Nymphs fed rat food developed significantly faster than nymphs fed two commercial dog foods. Similarly, oocytes matured more quickly in adult females that were raised on rat food than in females raised on dog food. Nymphal development and oocyte maturation were slowe...

A naive observer Norway rat offered a choice between two foods, after it interacts with a demonstrator rat fed one of those foods, increases its preference for whichever food the demonstrator rat ate. It is not known whether interaction with a demonstrator rat would also increase the amount that an observer rat would eat if it were given access only to the food the demonstrator had eaten. In th...
