Question about breeder mice

I had one male and one female, she had her first litter around August 30. I kept 2 females and fed the rest to the snakes. Can I keep the 2 baby females in with the male and female?
 
yes that is fine I sometimes do that if I have any females that are too cute to feed off the problem being I now have over 15 females when I only started with 3 but never mind. They will prob start to breed at a younger age as well if you keep them in with the male but you are better off keeping them in there as if you take them out you cant guarantee that they will accept them back in.

I was worried that they would breed to young and it would hurt them, but I'm pretty sure if I take them out then reintroduce them later the other 2 will not be happy.
 
yes you are just best to leave them in I have done that with one of my mums kept two of her babies in as she wouldnt let me introduce any other mice in, they have now had babies and all doing fine they all seem to all help each other with the babies.
