do animals ever mate with their young?

Question

what about with their offspring after it had been removed for a long time?

Answer 1

Yes, they do. Many animals imbreed.

Answer 2

Yes, although nature has mechanisms in place to minimize it, because for the most part animals don't see genetic relationship as a bar to breeding. For instance, most wild animals somehow drive their young away when they reach adulthood or adolescence. Almost all pack or herd animals drive away the male offspring, and many hunting animals drive the females away, as well, or limit which females can breed (like wolves). But in herd situations, the male herd boss certainly mates his daughters, but generally has only a limited time in power, so he doesn't mate his granddaughters. But usually when a new male takes over, it is an unrelated rogue, so the genetic mix is restored.

Answer 3

But, of course. The males of most animals are hardly aware of which are their offspring.

Females mate with their male offspring as well.
