Can a male mouse and female mouse live together?

Answer 1

Yes, two or moe mice may be put in the same cage together. Females can live in social groups of up to 6 in a cage, and males will also tolerate up to 3 other males in a cage together. Do not put a male and a female in together, unless you intend for them to breed. When you put new male mice into a cage together for the first time, be prepared to sit and watch for any signs of fighting for a good few hours, as if they do fight it can become serious in a matter of seconds. Females will be a lot less fierce when introduced to new mice for the first time and they will usually form a close bond almost immediately. Male mice should be introduced to each other {if you want them to live together} at a young age. 4-8 weeks is fine.

Answer 2

Yes, female and male mice can live together but it is normally bad. If you have lots of homes for your new baby pets you will soon have then yes. But if not then they should be kept in different cages/tanks.

Male and Female mice will mate overtime. He just has to wait for her to become relax with him being in the cage/tank with her then a few weeks/days she has accepted him. Then 3weeks later if the mating is successful you'll have about 3-10 pinkies in the nest.

Answer 3

Male mice can almost never live together, because they are territorial and aggressive. Sometimes brothers or fathers and sons can stay together for a long time, even months or a year so, but almost all of them will eventually fight. I have only two male mice who get along together--I've had to separate all the others. If you try it, keep a close eye on them and separate them as soon as they start fighting. Male mice can seriously injure each other, and even kill each other.

When keeping male mice together, it's best to have a relatively small cage, so both of their scents will be all over everything and they'll accept this as the natural order, instead of each having their own little territory and constantly fighting. When you clean the cage, keep some of the bedding from their nest and put it in the clean cage, and they'll smell each other there. I also don't clean off their house very thoroughly, so they always have each other's scents.

Answer 4

Yes boys will fight. Its better to keep female mice as they wont fight each other because they get along fine and a male and female together will breed a lot.
