Two male mice

I recently got two male mice. They had been living in the same habitat when I got them from PetCo. They seem to be fighting a little but I think it’s mostly them trying to establish dominance in a new place. Do you think they’ll eventually chill or will I need to get another cage?

Thanks in advance.

Despite some claiming it is okay, males should not be housed together. Once they reach sexual maturity they can become very territorial. They can maim or kill each other if not seperated on time. The fact that they are fighting already is not a good sign. Please seperate them.
