Technically, yes you probably could use Purell hand sanitizer on a pet mouse without killing it. However, you would need to keep the mouse from grooming until the sanitizer evaporated off to prevent potential intoxication of the mouse. In general, mice keep themselves very clean and don't need to be washed or sanitized by their owners, so I wouldn't suggest doing this.

It would be a good idea for you to use the Purell on your own hands after handling your pet mouse, though - mice carry Salmonella in their intestines that can make you sick if you aren't careful about hand hygiene.
