Yes, you can, but the babies should be at least 3 days old before you do, & mum should have been left alone with them for 3 days prior without being disturbed.
Try to move the entire nest, not just mum & babies, as that way there will be a familiar smell for them to lessen the stress.

usually not.
How many babies can a female mouse have at one time?
Female mice will mostly have from 6-12 babies at a time. Some Female might have more or less than that. There really is no right answer to this.

Yes, mice can have 2-14 babies. But when you breed, you usually get 4,5,6,7 babies. In rare cases, a mother mouse can have up to 20 babies!

What do you do if your mouse has babies?
If your mouse has babies, leave the mother mouse and her babies alone for at least three days. After three days, you can clean out the mouse's home, and pick up and hold the babies. Keep cleaning the cage every six days or so, and make sure the mother has plenty of food and water. After about four weeks, you can begin sexing and separating the males from the females.
Should the male mouse be around when the female mouse has her babies?
Not really... the male mouse will probably mate with her shortly after she gives birth and this can put stress on the mother, and could cause her to eat her babies.
Will the mother mouse abandon the babies if you touch them?
Rats might abandon their babies if they can't take care of them or if they are too stressed. My rat had babies and it kept abandoning one of them. We tried to feed it, but then decided to take it to the pet store. They put it with a mother mouse and it started licking it. A few days later we visited the pet store again and they said it died. If your rat abandons its babies, feed them with soy milk.
What should you do if your mouse just had babies?
You should not disturb the mouse at all. Leave her with her babies and let them bond and get used to each other. After three days, you can then look and pick up the baby mice, but remove the mother mouse from her cage, or she'll start moving the babies around.
How do you take care of a mother mouse and her babies?
let the mother take care of her babies you just have to take care of the mother like feeding her making sure that she has plenty of water to drink and a clean environment.
If a mouse with babies cage is too small How can you give it food and water?
If the cage is too small to put food and water in, you need to get a larger cage. Depending on the age of the babies it might be too stressful to move them right now. You don't want to stress out the mother or she may kill her babies.
How does a mouse carry its babies?
There are many different species of mice, but between them, the average gestation period (period in which the mother is pregnant with the young) is 20 days. After this, the young will suckle until they are weaned about three weeks later. They grow for a few more weeks, become sexually mature at around seven weeks old, and are then functioning adults.
