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.

Can a pet mouse survive on its own after its cage mate has died?

Mice are social, so a single mouse can often get lonely and bored with his/her surroundings. It would be best if the mouse had a cagemate to interact with, but in the case of the death of a previous cagemate, then much caution should be observed when considering or seeking a replacement. A good deal of time should also be given for the living mouse to morn, if they were attached to their old cage mate. However, some people report having a single mouse through similar situations that seems just fine. So, it seems to depend on the mouse in question and whether or not they appear to get lonely some time after their cage mate dies.
