Well, I'm no expert, but I asked the same question a few days ago. Someone told me that if the colony is established then you should be able to keep them together. Mothers may eat the babies if they are 1st time moms, if they are afraid or stressed or if there is no other food available. I've had one mouse eat all her babies and one other eat a couple out of 10 or so litters.
That's all I know. I've been seperating mine, but I'm going to let the next few litters stay to see what happens.
