Help needed to save a mouse!!!!!!!!

37 replies

Jazzicatz · 31/08/2007 14:53

Cat has bought in yet another mouse, but I have saved it unharmed, it has been resting in a box for about 3 hours and is still alive. I want to feed it and send it in its mousey way, what should I feed it?

Jazz has posted before, and if it's a wind up, it's a piss poor one (unless it's a response to Awen)

I had one on my hearth recently and the way it's legs were splayed I thought it had carked. Fallen down the chimney and broken itself, we have cats fgs. Got the dustpan & brush, it had been there for about an hour and it scarpered...... WTF

Kerrymum - I bought traps and poison bait yesterday. Same trap caught 3 of the bugger in 12 hours (2 within a few hours). They have come from next door i think. THey are getting new kitchen and think they have disturbed them so migrating. Long story but bet they are from there.

Going to have to find the hole they are coming in and block it.

Will def get sonic things when hamster dies. Agree that best to kill them as they spread disease and breed like buggery.

dont think it is a wind up. Think it is a soppy lady who doenst realise what filthy disease carrying vermin mice are.

aw UCM if the hearth was warm maybe it was just settling down in front of the fire.

mice are quite cute little critters I think, and so do my cats

UCM · 02/09/2007 00:35

Awen, they are not rats who carry Weils disease in their urine.

I genuinely didn't think that mice carried anything orrible. Please correct me if I am wrong btw.

doyouwantfrieswiththat · 02/09/2007 00:37

well they are quite incontinent which I believe can be unhygienic, but if you were a very small thing that every other critter thought of as dinner you might suffer from the same condition.

they obviously know nothing of pelvic floor exercises

link from local council pest control - they spread disease. here

No it is not a wind up. And you will be pleased to know that the little mouse is back in its natural habitat and as far as I know he survived his ordeal.
