Replication data for Lack of evidence for a consistent differential impact of tail and tunnel handling on behavioural and physiological markers of welfare in laboratory mice

Data underlying the results of the behavioural tests (Open Field, Light-Dark box, Sociability and Social novelty and Approach to handler and novelty) as well as physiological parameters (plasma corticosterone levels, feacal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations, weight of adrenal glands and thymus and body weight). Tests were performed in C57Bl/6J and CD-1 mice of both sexes and their response to routine tail- and tunnel handling was assessed.
