Answer
Dear Brittany,

If you want more babies, leave Dad in the cage.  He will help take care of the babies and Mom Mouse will appreciate that greatly.  However, he will probably also mate with her soon after the babies are born.  Thus if you don't want another  litter in 3 weeks, take him out now.
