Your best option is to leave it alone - it is rare for a single baby mouse to be left abandoned by the mother.

If this is a pet mouse, ideally you would try to foster it onto another mouse mother for nurturing. If this isn't an option, you can try bottle feeding it with milk replacer (check with your veterinarian, you may have to use a non-rodent milk replacer if that's all that is available). The baby mouse will need to be kept warm and will need regular feeding and grooming (soft massaging of the abdomen to encourage regular bowel movements).

The good news is a baby mouse will develop rapidly, so you should be mostly done with your intensive fostering work in a few weeks.

How do you take care of a ophan mouse?

Well if you have a baby mouse with no fur what you should feed it warm puppy or kitten milk (not cow milk, that can cause diarrhea) using a syringe. If you don't have a syring, you can use a piece of string until you can get one, just soak it in the milk until a drop forms at the end. If the baby mouse does not drink it take it to the closest RSPCA.
