Newborn Mice

Question
I'm hoping you can answer this for me.

How do I explain to my girlfriend to NOT touch her newborn mice and pick them up?


Answer
Tell her that if she does, the mother mouse will kill them and eat them. Mice do not want the scent of humans on their babies and your friend will cause their death if she keeps on touching them. Plus, they are so delicate that she could kill them herself by handling.
