Can a mother gerbil and daughter gerbil stay together if the mom has babies?

I have a mother gerbil housed with her 1 month old daughter right now. The mom got pregnant after she had her last litter one month ago and I'm keeping her with a daughter and the dad with their son. I was wondering if I could keep the daughter in the tank with the mom after she has the pups.

Yes, generally speaking. The daughter will actually help the mother raise the pups, so it will be beneficial to the mom. :) Gerbils are a very social species, so usually this is not a problem at all.
