Got my first mice, do I need to split up the boys right away?
I have two tanks running right now, one has 6 mice the other has 7. I have a couple extra boys I really like and kind of want to keep, but I know you should only have one male in each tank. Do they kill the babies/each other, what happens? I don't plan to keep more than one male per tank, I just don't have any more tanks right now since I went to two different cities and was only able to get two tank lids.
They smell horribly, but a few of them are really cute! I really like the gold ones!

I use to breed mice and I never kept more than one male per tub. I am not saying you can't but the few times I tried more than one male there was always fighting. I would keep 1.4 in together at all times and never had a single problem. I wish you the best, and good luck!

Ok that's what I wondered. Once the extra boys are out they should be 1.4 and 1.5, I don't know why the pet stores don't have 10 gallon tank lids! I need to get at least two more tanks to use as grow out tanks!
