Should a pregnant female mouse be separated from her cage mates?
Yes we had a pregnant mouse who was in a cage with 7 other female mice, so we put her in her own cage. When she has her babies, she will make a nest for them so make sure there is plenty of bedding. If you do not separate them the baby mice might be at risk, although a pregnant mouse can be kept in the same cage. If her babies are in the cage with other mice, she might nip and bite the mice to protect her babies though
Is there any way two adult female mice that don't know each other can get along if they are in the same cage?
Yes, female mices can get along once they get used to each other. Introduce the mice outside the cage first and see how they get on. If they don't fight try this: clean the cage you are going to put them in very well (to get all the 'mouse' smell off it) and then put the female mice in the cage together at the same time. As this cage has been cleaned it should be neutral territory and therefore the female mice should not fight. If they do fight you might want to consider houseing them in different cages.
When can you put baby mice with older mice?
You shouldn't put older mice with younger mice. It usually causes fighting. If you must put them together, give them their own little housing area, take them out of the cage to get used to one another, the older one may get territorial if you put the other one straight into the cage with it.

Well, do not know if you are asking if mice have the sense of smell or that they put out an odor. First, mice have a very good sense of smell second, mice will only put out an odor that people can smell if their cage is not kept really clean.

Can you put two mice in the same cage And if you can Can two female mice be put in the same cage Or are two male better?
It would be a good idea to put two mice in a cage together so that they don't get lonely and bored. It would be a good choice to put two females together because they would get along very well. Putting two males together would result in alot of fighting and possibly a dead mouse. But just don't put a male and a female together because otherwise you will have mice multiply every day.
How can you look after lots of mice?
Your mice will be happy if they have a constant supply of food and water. Clean their cage every two days. When you clean their cage make sure to put the mice in something metal or another cage because they will eventually chew through cardboard boxes or thin plastic. After you clean it, put a layer of newspape and then put some newspaper citty litter (available in any woolworths or coles) on top. Mice are very good diggers and will rip up newspaper by themselves. If you leave them over night in their fresh cage and come back in the morning most of the paper will be gone and the litter will be mostly untouched. You will see that the mice have put the paper either in their house or in a small corner of the cage in a pile. This will be where they sleep and (if you are breeding) where the pinkys will live along with the mother. If you have a few mice and one has babys, make sure you have more than one sleeping place so that the mother and pinkys can have one nest and the other mice can have the other nest. Mice like company and they do get lonley so always have 2 or more mice in one cage (most of the time the same gender).
Can you put male baby mice in with adult males?
No because if you put a baby mouse/mice with adults they would think it's FOOD! Trust me, I had a baby field mouse and I put it in the cage with the adults and it was gone soon.
