This could mean there is something wrong with the baby....the mother will reject a baby that is not healthy. Try putting it back with the rest of the litter and if it continues to be pushed out it is fairly safe to say it is abnormal. IF it is abnormal she may even eat it eventually. FYI The belief that the mother will not care for a baby after you have touched it is not true, I touch my baby rats and mice from the day they are born and I have even returned baby birds to their nests and the mother still fed them.
