My male mouse keeps attacking my female mouse even though theyve already had one litter together before. What does this mean?

In: Pets

Answer

This is a hyper-aggressive mouse that may also be very territorial. Chances are, this pair was not raised up together, and was brought together when they were both adults. The male mouse might also be protecting the territory of his original mate, if he had one previously.

It would be a good idea to separate the two, and allow the female to mate with one of her sons.
