Question about does

So I have a small group of mice, 1.2. Male and one doe are pretty calm around me and each other, but the brown female I have is always harassing the other female. I think I asked about it before and was told they were simply getting the pecking order set.

Well, I just stood in front of my bins and watch the brown doe go into the hide the albino doe was in repeatedly and slap and bite at her, run out, run back in, and then chase the albino around the tub. This has been going on since I got the mice, and the brown female is skittish around me and the other mice, so I am REALLY think about just breaking her neck and giving her to the cat. I don't want my albino doe to drop a litter and then eat the pups because she's being harassed all the time. Literally, all the time.
The albino also doesn't seem to really be fighting back, but her eyes aren't wide and alert looking anymore, so I'm thinking the brown doe is doing actual damage.

Just pecking order, Stormy's and mine got a little rough but now they all huddle together in each bin while the male is off by himself.

I noticed this with my mice as well. I had 3 females to one male. I took out the problem female got her her own male and left the other two with the original male. Everyone seems much happier. Make sure you get a big male for the problem female otherwise she might bully him as well.

Any other opinions? :shrugs: I'm not 100% sure what to do. I found my buck and albino doe just now sleeping together in a corner while the brown doe was in ONE OF THREE hides they have. I haven't seen her fight with the buck, but perhaps she's being obsessive with the hides?

The albino female also has a healed wound on her tail that I KNOW was not there when I bought her, and her ears are a bit crinkled and floppy, more than before.

Get some babies from them however you can and grow up a new colony. Throwing random adults together they're a lot more likely to eat each others' (or their own) babies.

Sometimes they'll learn to be nice, sometimes they'll kill each other first. If you have another cage get another male and start with two separate colonies.

Is it possible that your brown one is actually a male? I would double check everyone to be sure. With mice it is easy to make mistakes, especially if they are younger.

Nope, not at all. And I would expect that if that were the case, the brown doe would be fighting with the BLACK and white buck, not the albino doe.

It's mostly the girls that fight.
