At least in prairie voles.
"The first studies that showed vasopressin could be playing background social matchmaker involved the prairie vole, a rodent about the size of a mouse. Scientists found that withholding vasopressin sometimes led prairie voles to mate without bonding and flattened parental bonding (in some voles, it led to an increase in self-grooming). Curiously, some studies even showed that vasopressin played a role in helping voles mediate aggression and social bonding with fellow voles of the tribe."
