Should I get 3 or 4 females? Empty Should I get 3 or 4 females?

I am planning on getting mice for the first time! I would like to get a group of females. Their cage will be at 110 quart bin cage with a wire mesh top to hang things from!! I have just about everything figured out except for when it comes to how many mice I should get? I’ve heard trios are good for beginners but I think it would be fun to have four too. Does your cage smell more when you have more mice? I’m not sure what to do - please give me your opinions! Thanks so much.

Hello and welcome! I've got a little bit smaller bin (520 sq inches I think?) that I planned to keep four girls in. It's just got two now but a new member is soon to be. Three is recommended for beginners just because it's the best small number, but anything above that is great too, as long as it isn't too many in one colony. The cage will smell slightly more and it will need cleaned a bit more often, but I don't think it's enough of a difference to not get a fourth mouse. Either is great, but I'd say you may as well get a fourth. Good luck with your future girls Smile
