It’s a look of concern but im pretty sure mouse would survive. Smaller animals have a lower terminal velocity (max falling speed) and therefore don’t hit the ground as fast. Anything smaller than a squirrel has a good chance of surviving a fall from any height
The squirells are fine because their bushy tail gives enough drag to lower their terminal velocity. Mice don’t have that privilege and have a higher terminal velocity.

Maybe the hair on the tails of mice grow super fast when they fall from great heights?
Well, there’s only one way to find out.
Off to the lab we go then.
