>>if i introduce a new female into my group of 1.1 mice.... the new female will get beat up/killed? i need a group of like 1.2 or 1.3.... but the problem is i cant get rid of the male, hes my sisters, im just using him for a while. i guess i could try to introduce a new female, see how accepting they would be.. dave



Usually the male isn't a big deal about new girls so much as girls don't like new ones. Introducing a new one to your 1.1 is gonna be more dependent on individuals then trying to introduce one to a 1.4 or something where you do tend to get a gang mentality. Watch carefully and listen carefully. You will likely see fighting and screaming quickly if it is gonna happen. And DON'T do it if your present female is really pregnant or about to pop....early pregnancy would be best.
