Pup maturation. SM- and BP-reared pups were observed and weighed to obtain maturational measurements. SM-reared pups ventured off the nest less frequently ((A), although this reached only trend level) and weighed less at weaning (B) than BP-reared offspring. SM- and BP-reared animal weights in adulthood were statistically indistinguishable (B). Line graphs represent means ± SEM; bar graphs represent means + SEM. ●/■, BP-reared pups; □, SM-reared pups. †P = 0.071, **P < 0.01.
