I don't know where I read/listen it, but I have the memory of learning that he wanted to use rats for his experiments but the church didn't wanted to pay for the rats so he has to do it with peas.

Also, they were considered "lewd". And now we know that the genetics of rats is way too complex for him to spot any patterns.

He also attempted to study bees but they were nasty, and he didn't know that they mate while flying, rendering his breeding attempts fruitless.
