right so
I'm fairly sure there is a mouse in my room. I have never actually seen the mouse, or any physical signs of it (nibbles at my food, droppings), but I can hear animal noises at night sometimes that sound like a mouse. I went to the petstore near here but they don't have live mouse traps and I don't wanna kill it if it exists because it's an ickle mousie, even if it is wild and not very sociable.

I'm tempted to embrace it as my own and leave out a wheel and stuff for it to play on and food and water. Only tempted. Though, at least if I leave a wheel out and hear the squeaking I'll know there really is a mouse.

I have two baby wajas born, both of which might be given away or sold cheaply, and more coming in 3-4 hours - the next litter is from Umber and Hatsuyaki, so 60~ and 100 in LQ. Chances are fairly good there's more than one. And Earth or Divine. *swoon* These ones ought to have fairly good stats, too. We shall see.

I'm slacking horribly on my challenge drabbles. I have Yellow nearly finished and then there's just Zacharias+Justin Independence.

A friend of mine had problems with field mice getting into the home. I didn't know until one night I was sleeping on the couch and kept hearing rustling. I put the light on and started seeing movement out of the corner of my eye and eventually I'd see the little field mice quickly popping their head up (I also saw one go on a mini toy skateboard). He didn't want to kill them either but had no idea why they kept getting into the house all the time.

SKATEBOARDING MOUSE. HARDCORE.

I used to keep pet mice, many a year ago. Really as long as it doesn't eat my snacks I'm fine with it, mostly, but I feel that if I can get hold of a live trap and get it easily, I probably ought to, if only because noises at night when it's quiet make me distracted and kind of jumpy unless I can place them exactly. A mouse on a wheel I'm fine with. A small animal rustling through plastic bags, slightly less.

Awwww, mouse. I have one that's been living in the crawlspace in my linen closet for almost a year. I hear him scritching around at night and I've seen him twice when I've startled him by opening the closet door too quickly. I let him go about his mousey business and figure he'll eventually die of old age, move on, or find a mate and I'll be overrun with a zillion baby mice and wish I had trapped him and put him out in the backyard. *g*

I once had two mice, and they escaped from their cage and make a nest somewhere under the sink, and bore plenty of little mice... And I was catching them, it wasn't simple.
We had a sofa in kitchen that was hollow, and there were cereals, and the mice were coming through the hole in it and eating the cereals, and I choked the hole up with plasticine, then caught the mice using a glass jar. It took few nights to catch them all.
