Here's why you shouldn't try to calm it down:
* It's dangerous for you: Mice can carry diseases and bite if they feel threatened.
* It's stressful for the mouse: Trying to handle a scared mouse will only make it more anxious and potentially cause injury.
* It's not necessary: The mouse will naturally seek a safe hiding spot and will likely calm down on its own.
Instead of trying to calm the mouse, here's what you can do:
* Give it space: Allow the mouse to find its own safe haven. Don't chase it or try to corner it.
* Seal any entry points: Find out how the mouse got in and seal up any holes or gaps in your walls or floor.
* Consider calling a pest control professional: If you have a recurring problem with mice, a professional can help you get rid of them safely and effectively.
Remember, it's best to avoid contact with wild mice for your own safety and the mouse's well-being.
