kinda pointless experiment of course starving mice will eventually attack and eat each other. what else would they have done?
They weren't testing to see if mice would turn cannibal
they were testing to see if a box was more nutritious than sugary cereal

well you dont need to test with mice for that, we know cardboard has no nutritional value, well not enough that you should eat it anyways
and any animal behaviourist would have known that mice wont eat cardboard as a source of food regardless. mice dont look at cardboard and think "i could eat that" so the result was predictable. the mice would starve to death or resort to cannibalism.

They actually did another version of this myth that did air this time without the mouse eating mice www.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/mythbusters-database/cereal-box-more-nutritious/
