Hi,

They will be fine with the mice well after weaning.
I put weanling mice, multi's and gerbils together until they are about 3 months old before seperating them.
I've heard of rats fostering mice and gerbils before. I should imagine anything that works on the 'auntie' system would do the same.

Dawn

Its bigger than a mouse, smaller than a rat. They produce more in a litter than a mouse and alot of people use them to breed as feeders.

Very cute pics!
