A mother mouse may inadvertently harm her babies due to stress or environmental factors, such as feeling threatened or disturbed. If she perceives her nest as unsafe, she might abandon or even harm her young to protect herself. Additionally, in cases of overcrowding or inadequate resources, she may cull weaker offspring to ensure the survival of the stronger ones. Such behaviors are instinctual and driven by survival instincts.

Rats might abandon their babies if they can't take care of them or if they are too stressed. My rat had babies and it kept abandoning one of them. We tried to feed it, but then decided to take it to the pet store. They put it with a mother mouse and it started licking it. A few days later we visited the pet store again and they said it died. If your rat abandons its babies, feed them with soy milk.
