New Mice
Whats the best way of introducing a new male to a few females? I have 3 bins with 3 females in each right now, I placed a male in each and they are screaming a lot! No blood or anything tho.

The best way to intro new rodents is to put both into a totally clean enclosure so it's 'neutral' territory. That way, there are no territory issues and it's all about 'do I like you or not'.
They are all in new enclosures! I placed them in the rack I built today! I think its mostly just getting to know each other, the male is doing most the chasing.

Re: New Mice
I hope so, its a lot of screaming! I hope everything will be ok in the morning, if not new male and new females (they will be snake food)

Re: New Mice
I've got a male that I rotate through four female tubs. There's always a lot of squeaking at the beginning.
As long as the tubs were new/clean you should be fine.
It's just the girls protesting being mounted.
I'd still watch them though, first sign of blood you should consider not using them for breeders. You get a girl who's a fighter there a chance she'll never breed and a good chance your boy will get castrated, never a pretty sight.
