How many fancy mice can live together in a 10 gallon tank?

I'd say one. I had 2 in the same 10 gal tank. I kept them both well fed and took great care of them. But, for some reason, 1 of them killed the other and ate half of him.How many fancy mice can live together in a 10 gallon tank?
I would say 2.


Their urine smells very strong, so more than that and you'd be cleaning the tank every day. Even so, I'd say twice a week you should clean it out to keep things smelling clean. Make sure to have good ventilation and keep it out of the sun. You should also consider a cage topper to give them more space and something to climb. :]How many fancy mice can live together in a 10 gallon tank?
I think its 1 mouse per gallon... no wait.... yep that's right =P





No, just playing. Get a real cage like the poster above. They are just as cheap as the 10g and it will work a lot better. Also, post in the right area and you will get more help.
2 females. Or one male. I wouldn't suggest a male/female pair unless you want to be buying 2-4 more 10 gallon tanks every few months as they reproduce. Two males will probably fight, and they smell worse to start with.
