mice are social so the babies might feed on any female avialable. i can tell by the pattern of the fur . i have "sprinkle butts"( hooded with little sprinkles on the hinnie), hoodedd without sprinkles, complete colored with a white stripe between the eyes. so whatever look they have ... of course some of them might look like the dad. and if your mice are all white that wont help you either

uh, the one giving birth to the little tiny mices is definitely the mom mouse
the male mouse has tiny little male testicles lift up its tail

I guessing the one feeding them, but, this just a guess. You may be able to feel. The mother may have larger "Teets" for feeding.

By the nipples, they would be bigger then the one who isn't the mom
