We purchased two mice on Friday to start our breeding colony. This first breeding is a trial so we can get idea of how things go. I have pictures of the male and female if anyone is interested in seeing them. I know colors can play a part in genetic disorders or at least be linked to them.
Well here is the question. They have been cuddling, sharing food, digging around together but every now and then we will hear squeaking coming from the cage and we see the male chasing the female around the cage. Then the female will run into her little hut to get away from the male, he will follow, there is a moment or two of squeaking and then the female runs out and the male does not follow. Any idea what the heck is going on? Is he trying to mate with her or attack her?
