fixed mistake
Aug 15, 2021 at 3:08 comment added Shara .... p.s. neither the treatment nor control are particularly hard on the animals, just change in fatty acid ratios.
Aug 15, 2021 at 3:06 comment added Shara Of course I guess there could always be an effect that no-one's noticed so that's why I thought it would be good to put half in each group. Also I am taking wild animals into captivity so it's possible that they will be calmer and have lower temperatures after the first month and this will be completely unrelated to diet. Time in captivity was really the main reason I thought it would be good to try to reduce/test for any effect by starting half on the control and half on the treatment. (We will release them again after two months).
Aug 15, 2021 at 2:56 comment added Shara @BruceET yes that's correct, results of testing this in multiple other studies show it only takes about a week to adjust completely to the new diet

updated now that I know the experiment is a repeated measures "crossover"
Aug 14, 2021 at 17:28 comment added BruceET Do you assume (presumably on excellent prior evidence) that there is no long term effect of the 'treatment' diet after it is stopped?
