    Maturity:
    Male rabbits reach maturity later than female rabbits

    Female mice are more aggressive to protect their pups compare to male mice. (Stanford Medicine, 2022) Male mice are very territorial and aggressive. Thus, male mice should not be housed together.

    Male mice in captivity are more inclined to have paternal instinct so they will help to rear their pups.
