Well, ive been having fun, I invented a shute from a milk container that goes into the mouse house so when I have a mousie in the trap I just up end it into the shute and the mousie goes down the tunnel so he can join his mates for a party.
Caught a few more last night, this is fun.
My son loves to watch them, Im sure he would like a pet mouse but he would be too busy playing footy, watching foxtel or playing the Xbox to clean out the mouse house and I would be the one doing it so he just has to be content feeding the wildies in the box!!

Helen, all joking aside, kill or at least get rid of those mice. They carry a disease that can kill you and your family. A pet mouse from a pet store is one thing, a wild mouse is another.

It was mice and rats that caused the Black Plague. Rodents anywhere are major disease carriers.

Do we have treatments for black plague now???

I have no idea but no matter what we have treatments for new strains can make them ineffective. Rodents are major disease vectors. You can see the some of the diseases they carry in Australia in the middle of this page. http://www.nqccs.com.au/library/pests/rodents/mice.htm
