What if you touch a baby mole?

Answer 1

Usually the mother mole is close by so I advise you not to.

Anyways, it is extremely hard to find a wild one and if you pet one in an animal museum/zoo, it won't do anything... it's a baby mole.

Looking at the psychological viewpoint, the baby mole might have reduced nutrient intake from separation from the mother.

Studies show that (through tests of rats and human babies) if a baby animal is separated from the mother, it can cause trauma.

The babies become less active and cannot absorb nutrients as well in their first few months.

Brain capacities are lower when they are lower.

Fun fact: babies that are with mothers gain an average of 47% more weight than babies that are separated. (this is a good thing for mother handled babies)
