Although initial fighting between female mice is possible, commonly a few of them can live peacefully on territory of one dominant male and sometimes even nest together.

From Ecological validity of social interaction tests in rats and mice (2019) · cites this paper as [73]
Dominance relationships observed in the laboratory might be formed in an un-ecological manner, simply because subordinates have no possibility to emigrate from the group and establish their own territory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
