One male and one female until babies are born,then put him in a cage of his own.I think 2 females can keep on living in one cage, first call your local pet store and ask
it depends what type of hamster
syrians don't get along after a certain age but dwarf Russians are better in groups- contact pet store
The size of the cage depends on the number of mice you plan on keeping in the cage. If you are housing one to three mice, it is suggested that you use a ten gallon aquarium with wire cover. Four to five mice should have a fifteen gallon aquarium and five to six should have a twenty gallon aquarium.
There are no legal papers but many requirements such as the number of mice and space that are allowed to occupy one cage
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.
Yes, a mouse (female or male) will get lonely if kept alone in a cage. Mice are very social animals and need the company of other mice to be happy.
Mice as a rule are social creatures. Female mice can, and should, be kept in groups of at least three (that way if one dies, there will still be a pair to keep each other company). Males, unfortunately, are too territorial and should be kept singly as pets. Never keep males and females together unless you want, and are willing to care for and/or rehome, a LOT of babies. Ensure they have a large cage to run around and explore in, as mice are generally very active, smart, and curious; and will get frustrated if kept in a tiny cage. A ten gallon tank, or wire cage of similar dimensions, is fine for three mice.
About 35$ small for a good, colorfull one 40-45$
get rid of it you don't want an unfreindly mouse
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).
This is not necessary, mice spend lots of time grooming themselves and each other. The only time I would consider bathing my mice would be if one of them escaped from the cage and got soiled with something like oil or mud.
As long as there is one male mouse and one female mouse in the same cage there will most likely be babies.
Place him in a separate cage next to the other two's cage, this way they can't fight but they still have each others company x
hellohow do you give mice exercise?well theres lots of things and the one i recomend most would be a wheel there are some that you can connect to the cage and some that can just sit in the cage. you can purchase these at pet shops and other places and also to give mice exercize you can have some pipes coming from your cage, climbing exercizes like little toys that they can climb over and climb thoughand they are th main things you should use to give you mouse or mice exercize. as i have my own mice for exercize i put them on the grass because they like to smell and scatter around.hope my answer helps you!!!!!!!
