Question about Mice Behavior.

TruesMidori Jun 23, 2009 05:56 PM

Ive only been breeding Mice for a few months. However I have a nice little colony of females. They dont fight, and they all seem to get along well.

Today I noticed one of my females, it appeared to be french kissing another of my females. On closer inspection it looked like she was gnawing on her sister's teeth. Is that normal? The other mouse was perfectly still and calm so it wasnt an unwanted action. Im simply curious as to what it is they are doing, and does it mean Im not providing them with enough things to chew on?

never seen this happen with nice before..but if the one receiving the 'treatment' wasn't protesting and there isn't any sign of injury, I wouldn't worry about it.

What sort of food are you providing? Do you have males with the females or just strictly a group of females only with no breeding? Describe your setup? (or better yet, provide pictures! Hasn't been enough activity here and fresh pictures will be much enjoyed )
