OK .. to allow breathing room ... take 461/8 = 57 liters.

My original document said 50 kJ/day rest.

Sustained metabolic scope for mice (mus musculus -- house mouse) is given as 3.7 (12 rest, 40 sustained kJ/day)

That gives 125 Litres ...  marginal -- NOT PROVEN, as usual !!!
And of course, the 1630 mice could have scurried out of the hose. Was anyone watching it?
