I am attempting to use large, enclosed running wheels to obtain data on voluntary running costs in small mammals (chipmunks and ground squirrels). Animals are kept in the wheels for 2 days; they have access to a nest box, food, and water and can run on the wheel whenever they wish. We continuously monitor wheel revolutions and oxygen consumption, and hope to use the data to compare voluntary exercise costs with the huge database on the energetics of forced treadmill running in mammals.
