Question
i need to know if i can keep the father mouse in the same cage with the mom and all the nine babies.Is he going to hurt them? also i have another female is she ok in the same cage?

Answer
Dear Shane,

If you keep the father in you will have another litter in three weeks, which is terrible for the mother. In fact, it is likely too late. Take Daddy out right away. But leave the other female in; she will help take care of the babies and let the mom go on the wheel occasionally.

Have fun with the babies.. I have answered tons of questions on mouse pups so look around in the archives (my answered questions).
