How to make my mice stop fighting?

Question

Hi! My mice fight too much, how to make them stop or should I just sperate them? They lived together peacefully since May. Someone told me that 4 mice in a 10 gallon tannk is too much, so I tell you which ones fight and you tell me which ones to sperate, OK?

the grey mouse will beat up every mouse but the white one.

the black mouse will usually beat up the poor ill mouse ( she was sick when I bought her and never got over it, but the other mice never got sick, she looks the picture of good health, but she wheezes when she runs).

The white mouse will beat up all the other mice.

They used to fight over treats, the white mouse would take all the treats away from the other mice. So I stopped giveng treats and now they fight just to fight.

Please help me

Thank You

Answer 1

Looks like the white one is the butt kicker of the bunch. I say take out the white, poor lil mouse, and the grey one, give them all separate tanks.

Answer 2

What are their genders? Are they all female? I never have problems with females fighting, but occasionally if their enclosure is too cramped, they will do so. They do need their own spaces, so you need at least four different places they can all get away to from each other. If they keep running into each other they will certainly start up fights since it's too crowded.

Split them up in pairs, and get a second 10 gallon tank for the other pair. And make sure you have at least two hiding sports in each tank.

It does not matter how you split them up. I think the main problem is that their tank is too small to hold four. Any two should do a lot better together if given the room to feel comfortable.

Answer 3

Females don't usually fight. Although, 10 gal is pretty cramped quarters for four. You could try getting a bigger habitat (at least 20 gal) and see if this helps. Check craigslist for good deals on rodent/reptile housing.
