Many people hate mice although I am not sure why. They are not very different from hamsters and guinea pigs and gerbils. I have a pet mouse which lives near my desk in the teachers’ room. At first I tried to catch it in the trap by putting one of Adam’s wedding chocolates as bait but after several weeks it was clear it had not got a sweet tooth. The trap remained primed and the mouse came and went each weekend and was not tempted by the food offering.
The following weekend I decided that, because it seemed to be making journeys into the office to collect nesting material, I would put some tissues in there. So I ripped some up and hung it in the trap hook and then Mike gave me a little dish he had fashioned out of a paper cup and we put some water in it. The main reason for the water was that I was sure I wold catch the mouse over the weekend and because it was a holiday on Monday I didn’t want it to get dehydrated hence the water supply.
I shouldn’t have worried because when I got to work on Tuesday there was no sign that they mouse had reemerged and the tissue and water remained untouched.
I would love to see the little mouse but my capturing skills are lacking and the next plan is to write a program to get the Raspberry Pi computer to film it using a motion sensor and a camera. But that will have to wait until I have worked out the technicalities of programming with Python which requires more time and energy than I currently have to spare.
This could be an interesting side project you could blog from the perspective of the mouse, maybe call it "the wall have mouse-ears" or something? Could be fun, a more whimsical approach to blogging.
What a funny pet! why don't you build a new house for it?
little animals is amazing ,but rats is awful ,because rats always carrys diease and virus ,the things which shaocked me that is you use a chocolates to catch a little mouse ,that costs a lot like a battle you died 1000 people and killed 400 enmeies ,hope you will win the war …
In fact, I feed a mouse pet about 2 years ago. It is so ccte that you can nevr imagine. when he eat stuffs on your hand, it just looks like that he is your own kid. But at last, he died, he drink too much and drink too much. I think that is very very fun
it is hard to imagine a woman who is a funny teacher likes mouse,and wanan get one to be pet.actually,i like them too,but i do not dare to touch them.even i dare ,i cannot catch them. U R so brave
