I have a small tiny doormouse living under my floorboards.
he comes out at night and sits on my computer desk, and i feed him crumbs. he really is very very cute..
for months now i have been arguing with another member of my family to not put down killer mouse traps with the spring flipper thing that cuts them in half.
geuss what.... i just foud that the little bastad has chewed through half of the cable on my spare joystick...and the telephone wire i use for internet and phone(only the phone part, lucky for me. now fixed with twisting and tape)
can you believe that?
i kept the sucker alive and protected him from my cruel family and this is how he repays me...
im off to buy killer mouse traps right now.
my family member is laughing his arse off at me.
:mad:
-
you can buy the humane mouse traps which trap them and don't kill them - then you can go and release them. We did that with a couple of doormice which were living in our loft, cute little fellas.
-
why don't you just taze him?
-
yeah furbs i got one of them he is too smart for that. its been sitting on my floor with various bait in it for the last few weeks.
john, where can i find a good cheap tazer in the uk? im interested..
-
why not tempt him into a box yourself then when you feed him?
how do you know it is not your family member framing the doormouse by cutting your wires? :noid
-
Catch him alive like Furball suggested.....
Then waterboard his arse til it squeaks....put a lil orange jumpsuit on him and chain him to the inside af a cage with bright lights...
Have a cat torment it every hour or so....
Cage it for Months and Months without legal representation or specifying the charges for its imprisionment...
Whoa, I'm feeling a lil aroused here......
:D
Mac
Waterboarding a mouse...
:rofl

LOL bat the little booger!
Lets see chewing an AH addicts joystick and nearly his internet?
got to be punishable by death!
-
Get the silverware out.
-
haha well you guys made me feel better already... :)
but i still think i agree with bruv, chewing a joystick cable is punishable with death.
if possible i will avoid this and try to relocate him peacefully as you have suggested furball. no promises though.
he is cute tho.
-
Get a Cat.

Macaroni with dormouse and thrush sauce
1 edible dormouse
8 thrushes
1kg skinned tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 onion
Chopped parsley and basil
Half-glass dry red wine
Salt and pepper
1 red chilli pepper
Macaroni
Method:
Skin dormouse and remove innards and leave in running water for a day and a night. Cut dormouse into pieces, soak it for an hour in a half-water, half-vinegar mixture. Rinse. Clean and pluck the thrushes. Soften the chopped onion and garlic in lard in a casserole dish, add the dormouse and thrushes and brown them. Add red wine. When the wine evaporates remove dormouse and thrushes, add tomatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, basil and red chilli pepper. Add lid and cook on low heat for 20 minutes, return the meat and cook until tender. Boil pasta in salted water, drain and serve.
Fifteen restaurateurs face criminal charges after food inspectors were served dormouse stew and braised dormice in wine and red pepper sauce.

i was just going to ask if anyone had a good mouse recipe.
-
Some years ago in an apartment I was living in at the time.
I got up in the morning and went to get myself a cup of coffee and spotted one of those cute little mice in my kitchen sink.
I promptly scalded him to death with a pot of hot coffee.
-
Sparrows are good... It just takes a hell of alotta them.
:D
Mac
But that's another thread.
-
leave out a small dish full of beer. You'll find your mouse quite happily dead, drowned in the beer.

Either that or you'll come back from work to find him on your couch, drinking more beer, fondling your significant other while eating cheesey poofs and watching a football game.

Hiya Bat,
Try feeding him enough to satisfy him on an ongoing basis; gotta taste better than bat fingerprints on a joystick wire.
Seriously, if he lets you fed him and you like him; then catch him and take him far far away or set up a cage to keep him in as a pet.
TIGERESS
PS: John9001, your sense of humor and one-liners never ceases to make me laugh or smile... Thanks for being you, dear.
-
thanks tigeress, that has mostly been my intention all along. he has taken biscuit crumbs out of my fingers. he even worked his way half way through the 'humane' trap, grabbed the bait, using his back legs to hold the trapdoor open and smoothly shuffled back out.
i cannot catch him with my hands because he is too fragile and i would have to be extrememly quick and accurate not to hurt him badly.
its a torment to have to dislodge him from my house but since i posted this he has chewed clean through the phone line again and half way through the internet cable. the joysticks are on a shelf out of reach.
I have a set of turntables, mixing desk, computer, lamp, phone etc etc all running allong the skirting. without a complete re-wire he is going to cost me alot of time and money. i have to do something but im running out of options. ill will let you know if i can sort it out without bloodshed.

Please don't kill it. Capture it, and bring it over to my house. It will give my pet cat many hours of enjoyment. She will play and play with it. She is just fascinated with mice.
Here is a photo of a mouse resting and taking a nap, in between play sessions with my cat:

get creative.
Find a big spider, put it in a 2X2" box.
Sit in computer chair.
Permeate the bread crumb with a hallucinogenic.
Feed to mouse.
Throw mouse into a box with the spider.
Videotape it and put it on Youtube.
-
aww thats cute sig. i love the way the mouse dislocates its spine in seven place as it rests.
-
Bat, I'll be watching this thread. I expect to see a dead mouse within a week!
Don't forget, they have friends! Where there is one, there is many! :noid

Long ago I had a rubber powered foam scale me-109; I made an enclosed cockpit in it that was just the right size for a mouse. It was really surprising how much tougher the plane was than the mice pilots. Perhaps it would have helped if I would have built some sort restraint system. One poor little critter actually ended up paralyzed; at least he could still drag himself around with his front legs. Some of his brothers died in the same plane. I should of felt bad for them, but then again they were flying under the Nazi flag.

lol
im going to borrow the misses' digital camera and get a shot of him. i changed from my old bedroom to the smaller back bedroom last month because my brother has gone to work a season in a ski resort and the room i was in is big enough to be a geust room with two seperate beds.
when i was in the bigger room he had a black fur wife. the mouse not my brother. they went on to have an infant that would also come out. its funny to see a young mouse. they have adult sized heads and a miniature body, they look quite bizzare.
around 3 months ago it would seem the wife and child perished somehow because they just stopped coming out at night altogether, leaving the lone original male with only me for company again. a sad tale for a sad tail.
i just dont want to kill him. he is the definition of everything i wish i could be in our society. a free spirit living life as nature intended. call me wierd but i dont want to see him dead.
how can a mouse invoke such a deep emotion of respect in my mind? i dont know, but he has earnt my respect and has handled the tough lot life delt him better than i probably could have.

that brings back a vague memory from childhood but i dont at all remember the story. maybe im thinking of another one where an animal teaches a human in a prison cell or something. thanks i will keep an eye out for it.

Thanks! man I totally loved those books as a kid :D

use high frequency sounds to get rid of him.
we got two for our house and haven't seen or heard from one since.
it's an eviction rather than an extermination.
much better all around.
-
How about an alternative? Possible metal braiding for the wires? Then you can continue to have your friend visit and you can feed him while he continues to piss and **** beneath the floor boards and behind the wall, and you'll both be happy?
-
Alternative? Ask experts... :rofl
