That is amazing - male mice living together without fighting. I have heard that this is possible if the mice are well bred and have good temperaments. I don't think this could be done with our inbred extra aggressive North American mice.
It's possible. Make them get used to each other in a very small space, so there's no territory to fight over. Occasional fighting is okay so long as they don't cause more than superficial wounds. As the fighting diminishes, gradually move them into bigger spaces. It may take weeks or even months. Add a shelter/house if they can handle it. Wait with giving toys (especially the mouse-wheel) until the last moment. One at a time, take away when it doesn't work and try later.
