Well, I don't think that the mother or father mouse would eat the baby. It's just like how humans don't eat their babies. Just to be cautious, put the father in another cage till the babies are grown.
Yes they can!! but only grass mice, they will eat there pups if any new scent is on them.

∙ 13y agoFemale mice care for their litters. It's generally not a good idea to leave the father in with the litter and mother because there's a good chance he will impregnate the female as soon as she's given birth, which is very stressful for her and both litters. Otherwise, most male mice will care for their young, provided that they've been with the same female the entire time. If they are switched around to different females, the chances of them cannibalising the young increase substantially.
