Yes you can catch a disease from a wild baby mouse. I know they are so cute. I am a pet rodent lover too. Just don't bother with wild ones. Pet mice are only a few dollars and are great to watch. I love to see them running the wheel too. Baby wild rats may have disease that their moms have so that is the difference. Pet mice are breed and kept in sanitary conditions most of the time. Clean bedding, they are around other healthy mice, they get a good diet. They are far cleaner than mild mice, but remember after caring or handling any pet you should wash your hands and keep pets away from your face. Just follow basic sanitary rules and you too will stay healthy.
