Dear Sheryl,

A friend of mine has been doing work with wombats. It appears the wombats
alter their behaviour initially when the collar is first attached (eg.
reduced feeding time), and had some weight loss. He wants to know if other
people have seen similar things occur in other mammals. 

Thanks for your help

Steve
