        So, we occasionally get feild mice in the house.  I have had great success catching them with our humane mouse trap, but taking them out at 2am is a bit of an issue.  Of course I don’t want to leave them in the trap too long though.

        So, went and bought a mouse cage from the pet store.  I got a wheel, water bottle, and food dish too.  This way, the mouse could be perfectly comfortable till I was ready to drive it somewhere far enough away it wouldn’t be back.

        Well, last night I caught one.  I put the trap into the cage and opened the traps escape hatch for it, then closed the cage door.  Of course the mouse started running about and he looked scared.  I got distracted for just a moment by something in the next room and when I looked back, the mouse was gone!  Just totally disappeared.  Everything was still in place, the door was still shut, but the mouse was gone.

        Only possible explanation is he slipped right through the bars.  Now, I know feild mice are smaller than the house mice sold as pets, but only a wee bit.

          Did you find him or is he still missing ?!

            He must have a made a mad dash for one of his usual holes. I’m pretty sure we have a mouse hole behind the oven. I should be able to recapture him tonight. I just don’t know where or what I can keep him in. Releasing him right when I catch him only works if we catch him early in the evening.

            Previous mice have tended to come out earlier. I caught this same one about a week ago and it was so late I let him go in the backyard, but it was too close to the house so he was back inside the very next night.

              We have a house cat who knows how to catch them but not kill them. She’ll catch them from behind the cubboards and release them in somebody’s bedroom or just hold it so we have to go catch it. >.< T.T

                      Yeah… The mice are always completely fine though, and we release them outside and watch them scamper off. They’re so cute! (We used to have a gerbil that she loved, so we don’t know if she’s hunting or being nice to them)
