YES!
You MUST separate a pregnant female from any males, as the males are likely to eat the babies once they are born. You SHOULD separate females unless they both have their litters at the SAME time. Female mice will care for each other's babies, but if one mouse is not lactating (producing milk) she may try to care for some of the babies but will actually starve them, as she is not aware that she isn't producing milk.
It is best to separate a pregnant mouse at least a week before her litter is due (2 weeks after she gets pregnant).

Should a pregnant female mouse be separated from her cage mates?
Yes we had a pregnant mouse who was in a cage with 7 other female mice, so we put her in her own cage. When she has her babies, she will make a nest for them so make sure there is plenty of bedding. If you do not separate them the baby mice might be at risk, although a pregnant mouse can be kept in the same cage. If her babies are in the cage with other mice, she might nip and bite the mice to protect her babies though

What should you do to the male mice well the female mice gave birth?
The male should have been separated from the female before she gave birth. But if you didn't do that, then the male should be separated before the female is done giving birth because females go into postpartum estrus (heat) after giving birth and can become pregnant again immediately. If the male is with her after giving birth, then she is most likely pregnant again. Back to back pregnancies can possibly kill the female or lead to babies less likely to survive.

Sneezing and/or squeaking aren't characteristics of pregnant mice, this means it is possible that the mouse is sick and you may want to consider taking it to the vet. If the mouse has given birth then squeaking is very, very common from the baby mice as they 'talk' to their mother (mouse) so they can get fed and looked after.
