Re: breeding mice for s****

Rats are natural predators of mice and will usually kill them on sight.  
This behavior is instinctive; raising them together probably would not 
overcome it.

We have just been having a discussion about keeping males alone so you 
might want to read the other recent threads.  My belief is that males 
can live happily alone if they are given a lot of attention and stuff to 
play with.  Trying to introduce them to other males is usually a 
disaster and I have never heard of them being kept with other species 
successfully (except for deer mice, but they are not usually sold as 
pets).
