Default Pinky and the brain! (Yes I am that nerdy and uncreative)

these are my two new little cuties Pinky (white) and the brain! (Black) they run in their wheel together that is so cute!!! they were just so cute I had to have them. They both came from the same cage, are both female, and um.
Im bad at this
Brain is super energetic ^^ she runs all over the place, climbing the walls or just sprinting into the wheel so long as Pinky isn't in it with her, she runs slower with her around. She likes to throw things around too, just a bad*** I guess lol, I love brain. The climbed into my hand after like a few minutes of coaxing, she didn't even seem concerned about it just kind of like "What eves, new thing to look at" Pinky not so much still working on her... If I place something new around Brain is quick to take a closer look.

Pinky is way more shy and a bit slower, when she looks at something new it's not like Brain, she doesn't go "Bored now" after 5 seconds she sticks around for a while, examining it, smelling it, tasting it, she would make a great wine critic. She also has this weird habit of kicking bedding up at anything she isn't familiar with (Is that normal?) She did that to me the first day I had her but she stopped doing that. Still never fails if I stick anything new around she will come up, smell it, then kick bedding at it like "Go away! HISS!" - the hissing. Pretty sure she is the one kicking bedding into the water dish too, idk why but every time i leave the room and come back it is filled with bedding XD it's like they are just waiting for me to be out of sight so they can mess around
I also noticed her do this really, really odd thing, Pinky was asleep in the top of the cage while Brain was sitting at the bottom. Pinky then got up suddenly and sprinted down the tube of the cage, (way faster than I have ever seen her move... to be fair I just got her) ran up to brain, grabbed her, then started to squeak in her face in a way that can only be described as "AHHH! AHHHH! AHHHH!" then she let go, went back up the tube, and went back to sleep leaving poor brain looking like "What just happened?" She has done that twice now, brain doesn't seem upset by it, they still sleep together and all but um should I be worried? No biting or fighting just "AHHHH! going back to sleep now!"
outside of those things Pinky and the brain seem to be getting along ok. ^^
Can i just say again cute!!! ~~~

Um they are mice, fancy mice I think it was, the women who sold them to me told me they were just like Russian dwarfs (The last hamster I had) but they were being kept with the Syrians. (Does that help at all?)

Thanks I know nothing. Hard to tell how big they are on the photos. I'm surprised they were kept in with Syrians as Syrians have to be on their own and are solitary. At least they're both girls! Boy mice are a bit stinky I think!

They are cute mice. As with all animals.. They can fallout with each other and one is likely to be dominant and the other submissive.

From what I know females are kept together more easily than males, which are more often kept on their own.

Mice are really active and climb and jump well, so you may need to get a bigger cage.

A bigger cage could have levels, hanging toys etc to help keep them busy.

It may be a good idea to have two wheels so they could have one each. They may need a bigger wheel than the one that came with the cage.

You may find joining a mouse forum useful.
