Help! Caught a mouse in a glue trap!

[trulyscrumpt10us]

Wasn't sure where else to go for help, I've got a mouse stuck to a sticky trap and don't know what to do with it!!!

I was cat-feeding for a holidaying friend once who, it turned out, had glue traps. Unbelievably cruel. I'm still quite traumatised when i remember that poor little squealing mouse

You are very cruel. It's not his fault he's a mouse

Lovely way to treat an animal.

Get a fucking humane trap

Cooking oil will free it- pour over the glue - if it is still alive

And as for not realising a glue trap wouldn't kill it- why do you want to kill it anyway?! Just google humane trap next time. They're like little tunnels that snap shut when the mouse goes in. Then you release it somewhere.

What did you think would happen? It would be smothered quickly in a wave of glue?

So two hours after the OP posted do we think she's mustered the gumption to deal with it or is the poor thing still suffering?

I'm hoping she's tried the suggestions for freeing it.

I'm wondering whether we scared her off or whether it was a hoax

In Good Housekeeping topic?

Possibly. But if it raises awareness that glue traps are cruel then that's good.
