To ask what to do with the live mouse I caught?

[Shambu]

Caught him in a humane trap with food.

If I put him at the end of the garden he will just come straight back.

But if I release him on the local common, he will not likely survive.

WWYD?

[Shambu]

Eek

[baxterboi]

Do you have a car?

I drove mine two miles from my house and released him!

[baxterboi]

(in the woods)

[Ifailed]

Leaving aside the obvious question about why you hadn't thought about this before setting the trap, apparently they can travel over a mile to return, so you'll need to release it some distance away - the bottom of the garden would be useless (unless you own a Scottish estate).

[SoupDragon]

you Realise he has a family living under your kitchen cupboards right?

[gamerchick]

Take it miles from the house, then it'll die a slow death.

Penance for using a so called humane trap that's really for our benefit.

Next time get some snap traps if you want to be kind.

[Kotare]

Err, that is a very big looking mouse. Maybe I can't quite get the scale. But mouse poo is tiny......

[SparklyMagpie]

He's a little chubster isn't he !!

I had mice not long ago but looks like they have moved on after trying to block entrance holes, I can assure you, he won't be the only one

I'd have to take it miles away but majority vote in future is snap traps

[Jammycustard]

I was thinking that’s a big mouse.

[Shambu]

He's chubby because he's been eating my food!

He's got very big ears and is rather sweet.

[Shambu]

We could drive him to the local common, but I think he will die

[Gottokondo]

Is it pregnant?

[Shambu]

I hope not!

[mrscloppity]

He's very cute!

[Gottokondo]

Keep it as a pet? If you can't kill it and can't release it I don't know what else to do.

Call it Chubby Checkers

[mrscloppity]

Sorry, not helpful!

[Gottokondo]

Or Alphons Almondus

[mrscloppity]

I second the keeping him!

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

It is so cute. If I found a mouse I'd want to keep it as a pet. Sorry not helpful

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

I'd call him/her Gus after the adorable chubby mouse in cinderella

[Pannalash]

Cute please don't kill it

[Stompythedinosaur]

It's a wood mouse rather than a house mouse. I would release it a couple of miles from home.

[Gottokondo]

Woooo free pet!

[Stompythedinosaur]

Keeping it captive would be cruel, though, I think. Never known a wild animal to adjust well to that.

[Enb76]

That looks like a pregnant mouse to me.
