Well Smeagol's terrapin food that I left otu to dry (soaked and mixed with calc/d3 supplement) has attracted some unwelcome guest of the rodent kind.
I've left some spring loaded old school mousetraps out and so far we have one clean kill (baited with terrapin food!!).
Has anyone had any similar problems?
Gluetraps are hideously cruel and I feel the same about poison (plus the problem of decaying mouse under the floorboards!), live release traps seem to me to be irresponsible and potentially just as cruel.
Has anyone come across any other sort of trap?
My wife wanted to put the corpses to use feeding Monty but given I have no idea what they will have eaten (poison, parasites etc.) and that he is feeding nicely on rats, that is not going to happen.
