Did we handle this ethically? Found a baby mouse and it died after trying to save it 1

Me and Brittney found a slow moving timid field mouse adolescent beside our basement king size bed. It trusted me instantly so I knew it would trust Brittney. We found an empty shoe box and made many holes in it so it was full of light and put that upstairs in a bright room and put bread and a few shallow bottle caps full of fresh natural Fairfield county Ohio well water. ( the best fucking water ever by the way for people who give a cunt about how good their water tastes )
It ate and drank but was really slow and died soon after. We believe it's mother rejected It...Darwinism RULEZZ. Maybe sarcasm
Did we do the right thing? We can't afford a vet and don't know much about raising mice. Didn't have much time to figure it out either tho really..:/
Guess with her phone quality this is my best attempt to capture our general feelings about it:

Since the mouse's eyes aren't open, it wasn't able to eat or drink on it's own at all. It would have required some sort of formula from a syringe. Or at the very least water from a syringe.
At least your heart was in the right place... Oh and it also needed warmth.

I'm pretty sure that it's a rat, not a mouse. Probably only 1-2 weeks old.

That place was freezing. I didn't happen to have my jacket. Too trippy and stoned to deal with the situation anyways lol.
You've never worn more than just one shirt? O.o granted I wouldn't wear that shirt combo in public lol

thats for sure a rat pup. look at the size of it. In the future, if you encounter a weak or erratic rodent, don't handle it with your bare hands. those cute little fuckers carry disease, and a sickly looking one is even more likely to infect you with something. you could have maybe saved it by giving it milk or formula with an eyedropper, but i doubt it. not if it died that quickly.

Ethically?
Ethics are a subjective thing. Most people, I think, would have either left it to die or found something to kill it with.
Being said, yeah man, you tried. Wild animals, especially babies, are iffy on recovery/adapting even when people who know what they're doing take them in. You did the best you could and there is no shame in that.
