My mice are darlings but when I tried to intoduce Sookie to any other mice (I had intended on putting Sookie and Sherbet in the tank with the other girls) she turned on them. Even if she is out of her cage and another mouse comes near her she turns on them but she lives quite happily with Sherbet (until recently anyway!!) If you want them all to live together you will need to treat them the same way a breeder would do and reintroduce them in neutral territory and monitor them for days as females can be really sneaky - a male would just go for the kill but a female will wait until she thinks she won't be disturbed and attack. If Mojo is getting on well with Freckles and Noddy I would leave her with them and not bother reintroducing as apparently some females will kill another after weeks of living together when they have been introduced to a "new" mouse.
P.S. I need piccies!!!! And I'll speak to you on allaboutmice later!!!
Thanks for the advice as always ZT, Sug and Harv really shocked me, they really meant business the second time they had her cornered and Harv went for Mojos throat.

If they tried going for her throat I definitely (sp.) wouldn't put them back together. Sorry honey Sounds like they don't waant to get back together after what happened. At least Mojo still has some company.

P.S. When are the piccies arriving????

I will post some tonight, I just need to get the female offspring to hold them while I take the pics as they are too wriggly to do both at once.
