Wow! that just happened.

well today was feeding day and i picked up a few mice from a local pet store, the little crazy fast ones. well i took the plastic lid off of the portable cage i took with me to the pet store to put the mice in and one of those little ******* jumped out! but the good thing is i have an inside dog, a beagle at that, and it took the beagle literally 3 seconds to run the mouse down and subdue it long enough for me to grab it with a pair of tongs. i mean ive never had a mouse hop out of a cage on me but i feel alot safer now that i know i have backup if it ever happens again.

cant take your eyes off em lol happen ed to my dad once but he was dumb...he thought it would be cool to get a black one idk why and he didnt get a bag to put the box in so as he was bring it home the mouse got out of the box and this is at night and he lost a black mouse in his car for a week..


later on he had an empty coffee cup the plastic ones on the floor and he lucky as driving too work saw the tail in the mouth peice and revovered the mouse later on i thought it was hilarious:P

Mice are pretty jumpy! I always get them by the scruff of their neck or base of their tail. Trying to cup them up never works. I haven't had them jump yet, even when I put them in shallow containers, they never even try to jump out.

yeah now one wont eat so i have to get the jumpy little bastard out. hes jumping up and down the walls as i speak. :rolleyes:

Get a mouse leash. :giggle: just kidding.

Do you have temporary housing for your feeders? I give mine a wheel, and that keeps them from bouncing off the walls.

i have temporary housing but i dont have a mouse wheel. i suppose i should look into getting one of those eh.

They will love you until the end of their mousy days if you get them a wheel. I don't know what it is about exercise that is so exciting. :confused:

That might explain the mouse that my snake won't eat...besides the fact that the mouse has the identical colors and markings of my white and tan Jack Russell :cool:

I swear that mouse is even more hyper than the Jack. So my dogs name is Obie and my gf named the mouse OJ...Obie Jr

Mice are hard to catch once they get loose!glad you got the food back.

haha yeah the mouse was fast, but my beagle was faster.

-Grins.- I need a beagle then.

I hate mice. The rats are okay, but the mice? Those little lsdfjklsfjslfjkwelrs are just evil. Evil I tell you.

i know exactly what you mean. back in the day i didn't think they would bite, i reached my hand in the cage and learned otherwise. hurt worse than any ball bite i have had yet.

You are lucky it was only one, and that you had backup. I had three hamsters escape over the weekend, while I was on vacation, and someone else was house sitting. My cat was worthless in this matter.:mad: I just cought them all today. I am so lucky I did. Two of them were pregnant.:O If they were missing for 1 more week, I would never hear the end of the scratching in the wall.:rolleye2:

Well, since I feed F/T, if I ever have a mouse jump up and run on me, I'll probably crap my pants:O

yeah i was plannin on grabbing it with the tongs but it went all jackie chan and jumped off the tongs runnin across the floor with the beagle wildly in chase. it had no chance that dog was on a mission, the dog loves watching me feed the snakes.
