Mouse on the loose
Ooops, one of the mice got away. And now I am trying to catch it - fast little buggers! Hmmm, I think it's the mousetrap for him. I am not chasing this little guy around all afternoon. I know - frozen/thawed never get away.

Re: Mouse on the loose
That would be the easy solution but I am worried my snake will get hurt. Oh well, hopefully he will go for the trap or get stupid and come out where I can get him. Any way you look at it, the mousies day is ending badly.

Re: Mouse on the loose
If you have a friend with a small terrier, especially of the Russell variety, see if you can engage their services. :-P
I dropped a mouse last week and my tiny little Pap-X was after it instantly. I had to hold her off with one hand and catch it with the other.

This is the one thing my wife's dog is good for! Jack russel....most of the time I want to beat her but she fights back grrrrowl!
I've had hoppers escape some die, some find the dog food if its left out and very few ever get caught in traps.
*I don't mean beat literally above of course, that little dog thinks she about 100 times bigger than she really is.

Re: Mouse on the loose
We had to chase a full grown mouse through a Ford Escort Stationwagon once. What a crazy time that was (though the children thought it was massively entertaining to see mom upside down, arse in the air trying to dig a small white mouse out from under the seat). After that I designed my own chew proof rodent carriers...no way am I ever using the dumb thin cardboard boxes the pet store puts live feeders in again.

Re: Mouse on the loose
It's a lot easier to go to the petstore with a small plastic kritter keeper to put rodents in instead.

Re: Mouse on the loose
Nate - why I felt it was unsafe was the piece of furniture the little guy went under is very old and heavy. It's been here for a dog's age and I've never seen the bottom of it. I can't be sure there are not sharp bits of wood or whatever sticking out under there. Also once he got the mouse, if he didn't come out on his own, I'd have a tough time getting him out. So - just didn't seem like a viable option.
