Abstract
⺠Stress and glucocorticoids (GCs) have been implicated in disrupting parental care ⺠Very few studies focus on the effects of GCs on parental male mammals ⺠First-time fathers were injected with corticosterone and tested with their pups ⺠Corticosterone did not alter behavior, paternal or otherwise, in this species ⺠Corticosterone did not alter male body condition or reproductive parameters
