I'm wondering how big a cage you will need for 10 mice, preferably the dimensions either in ins or cm. I know the bigger the better but what is the absolute minimum size without fights and where all the mice are happy?
Answers:
I've kept mice for a few years and found my mice fit well in any size cage but a good amount of room for this many mice would require a cage of ruffly 60cm long x 30cm wide x 30cm high would be of a good size and you can go bigger if you like i also recommend perspecs over glass and wire cages as glass holds alot of moisture and isn't good for the animals and wire cages don't keep the mice warm. if you wanted as an alternative you could divide the mice into 2 groups and have 2 cages instead which will give the mice a little more space and minimise fights.
Maybe u can buy a big cage. But also don have to be very big. Hehe. Just enough for them to stay inside. If u donwan the mice to fight, I'll advice you to seperate them. Hope that's work. :)
You will need 2 cages.. One for males and one for females. You won't be happy with your colony if they are all housed together.. the males will stink to high heaven, and the females will be very stressed and eat their babies..2 aquariums will work well, 10 gallons each.or cages about 10X 24 inches..You will also need a cage suitable for the weaned babies..
Used to breed Champagne satin mice..
a big one lol good luck bye
rember to keep in mind that they all need to be females our you will be flowing heavaly with mice EVERY where! Trust me you don't want to go there! haha I kept all of my mice in a 20 gallon tank. our try a 10 gallon tank and add a 10 gallon cage topper. The total would prob come to about 40-50- dollars. Also rember they love weels and toys. Mine didnt fight at all when I had tons. They smell alot so you need to clean there cage out more. make sure the wires of the cage are verry VERRY tiny!! Mine got out when the wires were only 1/4 of an inch a part and had mice everywhere in the house,
