I have had my female mouse, Minnie, for about two weeks now.
Today I got a new female (still unnamed).
I knew that, to introduce them, I had to do it in a neutral spot. I completely cleaned Minnie's cage and everything in it, and changed the bedding and food and everything so it wouldn't smell like her. I put them in together. They haven't fought or paid too much attention to each other at all, but Minnie occasionally jumps or runs away quickly when the new mouse goes near her. Minnie did go into the little house, and put fluff at the entrance so new mouse couldn't go in. :[
They've been in the cage for about 3 hours now, but Minnie has just started to sit very still and it seems like she's clicking her teeth together or something.
I looked it up and it says that it's a sign that she's scared, but I'd like all of your opinions. Haha.
Is something wrong with her? What should I do?
Thanks.
