We are going to feed off this female tonight and when we replace her we'll keep the new female (or females) in another enclosure and rotate the male. I do want to keep them in a small colony if possible so later on we'll get them all together if possible.

Actually it's too darned bad this female isn't viable as she (and the male) have been assisting the mother mouse. Seems everytime she goes to have a drink or a nibble, one or both of the other mice go and lay near the pinkies. I assume they are keeping them warm???? Whatever the reason they aren't hurting them so it's too bad to lose this female who seems good with pinkies.
