Here's why:
* It's difficult to care for a baby mouse: They have very specific dietary and environmental needs. You could accidentally harm it if you don't know what you're doing.
* They need their mother: Baby mice rely on their mother for warmth, milk, and protection.
* It could be dangerous: Baby mice can carry diseases that can be harmful to humans.
If you find a baby mouse:
1. Do not try to touch it: The best thing you can do is to leave the baby mouse alone.
2. Observe: If the mother is nearby, she will likely return for her baby.
3. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator: Call a local wildlife rehabilitator or animal control and explain the situation. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action.
Remember, it's always best to leave wild animals in their natural habitat.
