It should be safe to care for but keep in mind when these little ones lose their mother at such a young age it is very difficult to keep them alive. You could try calling a wildlife rehabilitation specialist and see if they can take the baby as they may have more experience in caring for these young guys. I am glad you're giving the little guy a chance! Good luck.
