Tell us about your pets: For a while as a toddler, my parents would breed rats, in fact we had a surplus of rats. Then I owned some hamsters and then a rat named Echo whom I loved and cared for till the day he died and sits in my pet cemetery.
Other: I used to be a member but I was made coppa. Now I'm back and I decided to re-sign-up since it's been so long. Thank you.

hey guys! I need some help.

I’m very unhappy with my current habitat for my two male fancy mice
and currently they are housed separately because they don’t get along.
I’m looking to get something spacious for them (and I’m leaning toward
something that can be separated into two parts because I don’t want a
chance of them fighting at all) because I want them to be happy and
have as much space as they need. I only have a 10 gallon tank and a 10
gallon tank topper for them and I just : ((( wish they had MORE. if any-
body has any advice and suggestions, please share them! Because I want
my babies to be happy aaaa

Welcome to you both!!

Male mice shouldn't be together anyway, so its good you have them separated!
Though I suggested getting a large rubbermaid type container and making a cage out of that. It's much cheaper than the glass terrarium and bin cages are just as good. See here for a tutorial.

A bin cage, like Gamora said, would likely be a cheaper option. Some
people really dislike the look of bin cages, however, and so they
may not be ideal for you. If that's the case, have you considered
breeder cages? They tend to be split down the middle but you'd
have to ensure the bar spacing is suitable for the size of your
mice to prevent them escaping into one another's cage.
Are you limited to having the cage together or do you have more
surface area for separate cages? If that is the case, perhaps look
at the Alexander cage or the Barney cage (similar to the Alexander,
tends to be cheaper). They've always been a go-to for mice owners.

And, if you're really looking at increasing their space, IKEA Detolf's
can be turned on their side to make a really long cage. You can half
that to separate them with a panel of sorts.

Tell us about your pets: Currently I don't have any rodents but I do have two dogs and a cat.
I do hope to get a pair of guinea pigs when I am able to properly provide for them, I move around a lot
and typically don't have space for a cage. In the past I've owned and cared for five guinea pigs and two hamsters.
Other: I'll probably just be chilling in the shadows since I don't have much to say that would be on-topic to this thread.

Welcome! Feel free to pop in on any conversation, even if you don't have any rodents currently!

Tell us about your pets: Aside from my cats and dogs, I have my precious son Rudy. His full name is Rudy "Roo" Shade McTeaSis (I shouldn't be allowed to name pets), and he's a black and white long-haired Syrian hamster and about 1.5 years old. I've had a mouse and a rabbit in the past, but that was years ago so they have unfortunately passed. Roo is my first rodent since the mouse and I love him to pieces. He started out as a shy little man but with some work, he's really come out of his shell and deals really well with being handled. His favorite treats to get on occasion are spinach cut into little shreds and sliced baby carrots. Ah I just love him lots, he's the best boy.
