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.
