Very clever little creatures. Up till a couple of weeks ago I have never witnessed or experienced catching one live... It ran through the kitchen, only the boy saw it, and I'm sure there's a hole in that corner where it could have got out, but next thing we know, the lad has emerged from the corner with a mouse in a tupperware container. Seems like a conspiracy of some sort to me...

Clever lad lol Years ago when our kids were young, they had their chocolate eggs for Easter and one of the boys put his on the floor beside his bed, but in the morning it wasn't there??? We found part of it and the foil wrapper in the bathroom, the mouse had climbed up the plumbing and got into the bathroom cabinet through the space around the pipe, the cabinet door had been left partly open so it got out and must have smelt the chocolate in my sons room opposite the bathroom and had a great time trying to get it down the way it had come lol! We filled in the gap around the pipe and always made sure the cabinet door was shut

It's the time of the year and there seem to be more mice around. They are mainly where we keep the wheat for the chickens and some eve make it into the kitchen. Because of that I keep everything in glass jars and BigO made a beautiful wooden box for the bread. Usually I can catch the mice with the new plastic traps and discard them into the bamboo growing in the garden. We don't use that part to walk through and these mice could be "organic" compost for the bamboo. But lately I can't do that anymore - Supernova Rex (the super new puppy we have) finds them and EATS them. Disgusting, Dea and I saw him doing that. Dea called out to him we could still see the tail of the mouse and he knew he wasn't allowed to eat it - In no time he had swallowed the whole mouse.

LMAO, at that age they eat anything. My pooch when young use to like as much attention as he could get and if there was an audience, I could peel a lemon and he would eat it, the expression on his face was so comical, showing his teeth as to say this is sour. LMAO.
Those plastic traps are fantastic,much better than the old wooden ones and you can pull them apart to wash them. I have been catching at least one rodent per week for some time. They use to live under my workshop, but a blasted wild cat decided to have kittens under there so the mice moved house, yes into my house. LOL ;D

I really dislike mice and rats. We bought a rat trap in plastic. Same as the mice but larger. And we caught a hedgehog. Since then I haven't put up the rat trap again.

Rats are good climbers so may be up higher out of reach on the dogs and hedgehogs. (On Big O's workbench ) LOL ;D
