I worked with mice for a few years. They can be reliably, safely and easily segregated by gender. I'd say not not more than 3-4 males per cage (depends on size), and up to 5 females<div><div></div><div><br>

</div>Could we set up a nice, friendly pair of gender-segregated cages with exercise wheels hooked up to generators? The goal would be cages that were actually designed to be pleasant for the mice. Could be a good ongoing project - people could add their own additions with passageways going around different parts of noisebridge.<br>

Can mice be reliably and easily gender-segregated?<br>
