The Only Success
we ever had with our live trap, aka mouse cage.
Bought when our cat, Henry, was still young and brought live mice in the house and sometimes they got away. We usually caught and released them but one was elusive. So we bought this trap. The only mouse that ever ventured inside was the Gruffalo mouse.
Nowadays Henry eats the mice he catches. Except for the green wobbly bit. (if you’ve ever read Pratchett’s The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents you know what I mean).
