Telling Identical Mice Apart?

So I currently have three white mice, and they are identical. i’ve had them for a few weeks now and i’m unable to tell them apart solely on personality. anyone have any ideas?

This can be so difficult sometimes. I have 3 boy gerbils that I cannot tell apart at all (the Jeffries). I can’t find one difference between them.
I had two pairs of mice that were very similar in looks that it took me a while to spot differences. Two PEW girls and two agouti girls. The PEW girls were slightly different in size and one had scrunchier ears. The agouti girls, one had a tear in her ear and the tiniest smidge of pink on her tail tip.
You can use plant based food coloring to mark them until you can spot differences in looks or personality.
