Monkeys are still used for behavioural studies relating to humanity. Heck. Even mice behavioral studies have led to very prophetic looks into human nature (Look up NIMH's mouse city experiments. The paralells with modern society are chilling, especially with regards to sexuality.) This should still raise some very concerned eyebrows.
The mouse utopia's most troubling result to me, above all the eerily similar physical and behavioral problems to what sedentary humans often experience, was the rather abrupt collapse and extinction of the mice population.
They just stopped having babies.
All the other problems can eventually be solved untill extinction of a population. At that point that population is gone forever.
Looking at some human ethnic groups with a birth rate so low each generation shrinks by half, this needs solving really fast, otherwise there will be several dozens of extinctions of humanity's genetic subpopulations in a few generations.

You're talking about Mice Utopia, right?
They ended up with MGTOW mice and tons of incest.
Judging by the porn tastes of most, we're close to the latter, and the former is already here.

South Korea's fertility index is 0.9
Most European ethnic groups are below 1.6
Minimum for population stability is 2.1
Birth rates are an overstated issue. It will be fixed before everything collapses, by chaining everyone to their nearest worse half.
While mice and cats are mammals, making their inner workings incredibly similar, I wonder what's up with bananas.
