That One Weird Girl
I'm trying to get my mice colony started, but as all fluffy lovers agree with me on this, we love fuzzy lil mice. Some of us love variety as well.
I started with a breeding pair of albinos.
I was thinking of putting in one or two more does if I can buy a nice big cage tomorrow and decorate it satisfactory.
I know the dangers of fighting over territory and their poor eyesight troubles.
Are there methods to reduce this risk of fighting in harmful ways?
 
I found that if you introduce young females, about weanling age, whe there's no babies involved (not when females are prego). Otherwise the moms (or moms to be) see the new females as a threat to their babies & could try to kill them.
I made this mistake trying to introduce new weanling females into a colony. Luckily, I was monitoring them, caught it, & put the prego momma's in their own bin.
