Until the babies open their eyes, it's difficult to tell gender, but not impossible. Simply lift the tail and take a good look at the two openings. Compare the babies to each other to get a feel for the distances between the openigns. The mice with closer openings are female, and farther openings are male.
Around the time the fur is fully grown in and they start opening their eyes, a female mouse's nipples will become visible, but then disappear again for a few weeks until it is fully mature. As for boys, their scrotum become large and very noticeable around 3 and a half to four weeks.

Do the male mice eats the baby mice if they are in one tank together example 1 male 2 female and babies?
I've only had a mama and a papa mouse twice. Both times, the papa mouse stayed with the mama and the babies. Both times the male was a very good father to those babies, snuggling them when mama went off to take a break. In fact, my current papa mouse was very excited about the babies when they first came and would squeak at me when I'd go in the cage. My hunch is that if the male and female mouse have a good relationship, and they live in a pretty stress free environment, having a male mouse in with the babies would not be a problem.
