Question
my female mouse is going to be having babies sonn so i want to move her and her babies to a different cage from the male but how do i do it without gettin them killed by theeir mother.

Answer
It would more logical to move the male mouse instead even if it will mean less room, this will avoid the mother from harming her babies. You should not handle the babies for at least 2 weeks when they begin to have fur growing.
