Mice Update

Two Mice 

It turns out, unless you release the mice quite far away from your domicile, they might find their way back! This according to my boss, who is wise in the way of such things. So I started marking the mice with paint to see if I was just re-catching the same mice. I have recaught one, which tells me that I’m not dropping them off quite far enough away from the house.

This morning there were two mice in the bucket, one which had a paint mark. See it on the bottom mouse? Mouse with Paint Marks

So I took them with me on the way to work. It was about a 12 mile drive, though probably half that as the crow flies. I released them into the woods. Run, little dudes, run!

    That is so cute. When I had mice in a former apartment, I just decided to kill them with old-school traps. If that makes me a bad person, well…

    I love the idea of marking them with paint. And they really are cute, aren’t they? Not so cute when they tear up all of your spare toilet paper for nesting, though.

    How far away were you taking them? Will took ours about 2 blocks away. We haven’t seen any in quite a while…

    I was taking them less than a block away previous to the 12 mile car trip we took today.
