You know I used to think that also but as it stand I have 10 females in segregation because they are nursing or pregnant and I have 2-4 females in general population that need segregated soon because they are pregnant. The two males are housed with the 23 non pregnant females and the twenty hoppers. They seem to be getting the job done fairly well.
Don't forget that all my rats are housed in one colony and all of my mice in another. I am not even segregating my nursing rats at the moment.
