Abstract
Intermittent gnawing activity, paralysis, urine incontinence, convulsi ons and panting were observed in the gray red-backed voles after consu mption of rodenticide pellets weighing 0.167 g and containing 1% zinc phosphide. When the voles ate 1.0-2.7 pellets, their haunches were par alyzed 2.2 h later at the earliest. They then suffered considerable lo comotion ataxia. Death occurred after 4-6 h.
