Yeah I guess. Ask your vet if it's okay first. They may want to send him to a Wildlife Rehab Facility instead. Maybe he'll say yes, you can keep it. Just know exactly how to care for one. Like; 1. Feed it kitten formula through a eye dropper. Make sure none gets in his nose. He will die. When he starts to grow fur, (approx. 10 days) try feeding it solids, such as soft bread. You can soak it in milk if you want to. 2. If its a newborn, use a warm, wet Q-tip to press on his bottom to help it go to the bathroom. It sounds wield to some people, but everyone has to go, and newborns just need a little help to realize it.

If you have a baby mouse, dont put in a bathtub. Put it somewhere safe like maybe back outside. If you continue to keep this baby mouse, though, try a shoebox with tissues. That way the mouse can eat the tissues and have a comfy bed.
