Summary Daily mean core temperature ( $$\bar T_c $$ ) in huddling Zucker rat pups reared at 25°C revealed the onset of a significantly lower $$\bar T_c $$ in fa/fa pups on day 6. The difference between any pup's $$\bar T_c $$ and the mean $$\bar T_c $$ of that half of the litter with the highest $$\bar T_c $$ on any given day was an early marker for genotype. Calculating the mean difference for any 2 consecutive days from day 6 onwards gave values for each fa/fa pup that were outside the 99% confidence limits for the individual observations in the Fa/-pups.
