Male and female mice in the same room?

Hey! Just for future reference, because I do still want a male mouse at some point, would it be a problem if I kept male and female mice in the same room (in separate cages, of course), or would the male become extra territorial and mark more because he can smell the females?

I have 2 males, I did have 3 boys but one recently passed. They all live(d) in separate cages. Then I currently have 3 tanks with groups of females. The boys have been just fine with girls around, I would just make sure you have secure cages or tanks. I have heard stories of males escaping their cage and getting into females' cages, or even vise versa. I have tanks with metal mesh lids and have never had any escapes Smile
