Question
Hi,

I have two female mice, I tried putting them in the same cage but they started fighting.

Is there a way to make them get along?  

Answer
Make sure they are both female mice as it is unusual for females to fight. If they have been isolated for a period of time from other mice then that is a likely reason they don't get along. It helps if they are from the same cage at the pet store and preferably the same age.

If you want to keep them both (although I advise swapping the bully for another) you should feed them only plain boiled rice. Make sure they are in a large cage and there are plenty of hiding places.

Without more background information it is difficult to give you an accurate answer. Perhaps if I knew why you tried putting them together I could help you figure out a solution.

Please feel free to ask any more questions.
