Answer 3

it just depends on the mice really, just introduce them and see how they go, but if not make sure you take one away,

hope all goes well with them

Answer 4

Sometimes they do and others they don't, it all depends on your mouse, mice do enjoy each others' company so if you have a lone female mouse already the chances are they will get on like a house on fire :) What I usually do is clean out my cage completly. Put my new mice in the cage for an hour to give them chance to have a tinkle and leave their scent around the cage. Then add your original mouse and she should be cool with the fact that she has a new house-mate. Keep an eye on them as they might have a little tiff to sort out who is the boss (which will probably be your first mouse) and then they will soon be doing everything together and become best friends! Good Luck x

Answer 5

Are they related?  If not they might squabble over their territory.  But mice are sociable animals, they're best kept as pairs or groups (of the same s*x unless you want hundreds of them).  If you can introduce them away from the adult female's home they might accept each other better, simply putting the younger one into the older mouses territory is just asking for trouble.  Be prepared for some fighting and maybe be prepared to get bitten if you try to separate them, and always have alternative accommodation ready to separate them just in case they really don't get on at all.

Answer 6

oh if your mouse has a  baby seperate them and put 1 by one and see if it tries to eat them. my sisters friend said the mom ate a baby.

Answer 7

they will l**k each other for hours and hours
