Here's why:
* Nutritional Needs: Baby mice have very specific nutritional needs that goat milk cannot meet. They require a high protein, high fat diet, and goat milk is too low in both.
* Digestive Issues: Goat milk can cause digestive problems in baby mice, including diarrhea and dehydration.
* Lack of Antibodies: Mouse milk contains antibodies that help protect baby mice from infections. Goat milk does not provide these essential antibodies.
What to do if you find a baby mouse:
* Leave it alone: The best thing you can do is leave the baby mouse alone. The mother will likely return to care for it.
* Contact a wildlife rehabilitator: If the baby mouse is injured or appears to be orphaned, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator. They are trained to provide the proper care and nourishment.
Do not attempt to care for a baby mouse yourself without expert advice.
