Abstract
Several laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the required period for different rodent species to accept zinc phosphide bait again after previous intake sublethal dose (1/4 LDs0)• Results showed that the period of bait shyness differed considerably according to rodent species. Whereas this period was relatively long for rat species i.e. Norway rat, Rattus norvegic-us (87 days) and roof rat, Rattus rattus (61. days) followed by lesser gerbil, Getillus gerbillus (59 days),while the shorter periods were recorded in case of mice species i.e. house mouse, Hus muscu/us (32 days) and spiny mouse, Acomys cahifinus (38 days). The differentiation between those periods may be due to the differeces in feeding patterns among the rodent species.
