over the last cople of weeks i have been seeing things out the corner of my eye when i have been seeing to the gang, well today i have finaly found out what, my two kids came running in to the house in histerics that they had seena rat in the garden ::)so out the oh and i go only to find a little mouse ,,,, who ran straight into my garage :tickedoff: so after moving all the hutches i found the little blighter and had fun chasing it around with the dustpan ?

i think i am going to have to put down posion :( but it will make my guineas ill again, i have just beaten off bl**dy mite and mange :'(


AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH



sorry OH tinks i fuss them to much and a little mouse won't do no harm
 
We have mice at mo,but they are more bothered over the seed cakes for the birds! ;D
 
they can make you feel awlful cant they I had one a while ago now and actually emptied the whole boys shed out to get to it the little blighter who was hiding under the last bit of a corrulux run the shed got a major clean out once it had been shooed out and now I keep the lower doors shut when I am in there and always when I'm not, and have a gate type thing i have to climb over to stop them getting in , good luck in getting rid of it becasue it might just have bubs and you'll go from one to lots, we have them under our decking but i leave them there as they are no where near my pigs,
 
you can borrow my cat if you wont he is ace at catahing mice he breaks there necks ;D

i never have problems with mive that much with having a cat only if there get in my dads shed as the cat not allowed in the shed as it noce sutable for him
 
Awww nooo :( Hope you get it sorted soon and the mouse was just 'passing through' ;D O0
 
Hope you don't have to use the poison :'( i hope also the little mongrels are passing thru but i doubt mice will forage where ever they can :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
I do hope things get sorted out soon as you don't want them around because of the kids :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: or the guineas :smitten: :smitten: so maybe a call to the council might help?
 
Have you tried putting piggy food and treats in air tight containers? And then only putting what the piggies will eat in the bowls?
If theres no food the mice will look elsewhere 0:)
 
i used to have kinda fun whacking them with a dustpan years ago when i kept birds ( sorry sick mind here)


theyre a bloody nightmare,get a humane trap and take it mailes away then let it go in some random field where hopefully some barn owls live
 
Well i chased it out last night, i don't mind them at all , it is the disease that they pass on to the pigs that gets me not only in the heart but in the purse to,,

I actually think they are cute! :D
 
You very rarely have ONE mouse! We were invaded over spring and we ignored the odd mouse in the shed but a few weeks later we were overrun with them and they came into the house and everything. We caught about 40 in total. I decided to rehome most of my piggies and the remaining one (has a friend arriving shortly :)) is to be housed in a hutch with tiny holed mesh so mice can't get in. As guineapigs have food down constantly there is a constant food supply for the mouse so I've decided to try the mouse proof mesh. Good luck in catching it. I used killer traps, humane traps and then poison when all else failed.
 
I had a very large family of them in my girls hutch :tickedoff:
it started with what I thought was 2 i got them
next day 2 more and so on.

now I know I got them as I am a very good shot with the hand shovel, sorry to all of you who love them but I DON'T.
I had 2 a day for nearly 10 days

any way I think they finally got the message don't have them now. did miss the odd one so hopefully they took the message back to the others ;D

but I wouldn't put poison down just in case piggys or other animals came in contact with it.

I had an infestation during the winter. I knew there was a lot as they were running out of the piggies hutches on a morning when I opened the doors. Also I lifted the cover off my bunny's cage one morning and there were 2 of them clinging to the underside of the cover! The bunny is at the opposite side of the garden to the piggies.

After a few screaming episodes from me and the dog falling over each other trying to get away from them my OH put traps down we cleared the shed out totally and moved it, they had been living under the shed the amount of food under there was unbelievable.

We must have caught 10 in the traps in the end.

Touch wood I think they have moved onto the field for the summer.
 
I nearly peed my pants tonight I saw something move quick tonight behind the hay shed, mice I thought but as i looked closer it was a cute likkle froggy from our pond, the blighter didn't half make me jump though, so now we have blackbirds nesting doves and recently a pigeon comes a few times a day a hedghog the size of a cat ( hopefully getting fat on them horrid slugs ugh) and the odd fox who fights with cats over a bin bag at 2am in our garden and now a frog or two to go with our protected newts in our little pond, plus the field mice under the decking I think I'm doing my bit for spring watch,
