ok update i decided im gonna introduce mochi, sushi, and jasmine to the main colony and I'm going to sell both ten gallon tanks and the 30 gallon, keeping the 15 gallon for a quarantine tank.
#i only use the 10 gallon as the quarantine and i just don't want to keep the 30 gallon#ive been reading about people who have large colonies (9+) and almost all of them say their mice get along great even if they're cliquey#my mice are already cliquey so it's whatever#the only ones saying the mice fight are the people who have never had big colonies and who think 1 mouse is the maximum for a 40 gallon#and there are studies that show mice get stressed in larger spaces and smaller groups and it isnt bc of a lack of enrichment.#in their natural environment house mice ('ancestor' of fancy mice) mice live in confined spaces and large groups#but no#i might not even do it if it turns out mochi and sushi don't mix well with the other girls#im also gonna keep the other wheel bc big groups need multiple#and the water bottle.#ima introduce jasmine to them first; wait a dozen days; and then introduce them to the main colony.#i figure if you take them home right after theyre weaned and separated from their mothers and introduce them to another group like a week#after (in a normal setting of adding to a group.)#then allowing two weeks for them to adjust to meeting one mouse should be enough before they meet a few more.#esp bc all my other mice are getting older and fatter and calmer.
