They are very cute! Do you plan on keeping them together? If so then please be careful since male mice almost always end up fighting.

They are really cute! The black & white looks like a longhaired!

But yeah,as Stephanie (Sasami) says male mice will most likely fight,so if they do and there is bloodhsed,you will have to seperate them.Also pine is toxic (it looks like you are using pine).

They are really cute tho,as for names...you could call the blac & white one Oreo (I had a mouse named Oreo that looked alot like that little guy).The silvery one could be Sterling.
I dunno,those are just suggestions!

You don't need to seperate them if they aren't fighting some males like to have company

It is rare,but possible.I have only ever been able to keep male littermates that were NEVER seperated.

i was told by the employe that they were litter mates. according to her all the animals kept in the same tanks at petsmart are litter mates becuase they don;t want to run the change of fighting or go through the hassle of intros.
