Our findings have direct implications for the refinement of husbandry protocols, the design of enrichment programs, and the ethical justification of Msh‑45 use in translational research. The Msh‑45 Siberian Mouse (Masha Babko Lq‑64): A
A. V. Petrov, apetrov@icn.moscow.ru Abstract The Msh‑45 line of Siberian mice, colloquially known as Masha Babko Lq‑64 , represents a genetically distinct subpopulation derived from a historic wild‑caught stock in the Lake Baikal region. Since its formal establishment in 1998, this line has been employed extensively in neurobehavioral, metabolic, and immunological research. While its phenotypic traits (robust size, dense pelage, and a pronounced circadian rhythm) are well documented, systematic investigations into its lifestyle —including naturalistic behaviours, social organization, and environmental preferences—and entertainment —defined here as the repertoire of self‑stimulating and externally mediated activities that promote welfare—remain scarce.

– While these studies provide a scaffold, none have systematically integrated lifestyle (daily activity budgets, social hierarchy, spatial use) with entertainment (enrichment) outcomes for the Msh‑45 line. 3.
