It depends on the male and the female IMO. Some males can be left in without bothering the litter, some are compulsive decapitators of babies. I'll also separate males out if the female has a big litter (or usually has a big litter) so I can supplement her diet with higher protein and fat without worrying the male is gobbling it all up. But, I admit, all of my rodents are really just pets that tend to disappear into the snakes' cages. I tend to baby them all with wheels, play things, special treats, etc. Keeps them happy and breeding well.
