so now we have a mice problem in this house of mine.... i could deal with the centiped problem, ya it was gross when they showed up in the shower and sinks, especially those really big ones...but mice! nasty....
I like mice, they're cute, but no pet store is going to take them, unless it's to feed their snakes. We have a mouse problem in the winter when it gets cold and they decide to come in the freakin house. Sometimes you can hear them fighting in the attic, and I'm still girlie enough to scream and jump up in a chair when I see one dart across my path. I'm a wuss. We also have a big spider problem in this house....wait till you see one of those ugly things come crawling out of your shower drain.
No respectable pet shop would take a mouse you caught in your house because of the risk of it have any sort of infections or diseases. Just kill the fuckers. If you buy one keep it as a pet, not ones in your house. They have a risk of biting you and giving you all sorts of shit.
i have a mouse that lives in my garage... twice a week i leave a little cheese and bread out for it... (my garage is actually like a bar, w/ couches and a tv, and music equipment and such...)... i found no reason to kill it. i'll run from spiders and centipedes though.
apparently having rats in the house will keep mice away. but i have rats and still had mice sneak in my room to eat the food
the one i know of probably would as long as ya didnt tell em they were wild... they take Horrible care of their gerbils etc etc... they seperated the MOM from the gerbil pups, but there was not much i could do, looked like that father wasnt doing so well either, had some weird tumor looking thing on his tail. luckily, i picked out the breeding pair out of like 5 in the tank, and they were healthy, and now are probably much healthier and happier than they were originally. i love the little guys, i removed all the rat poison in our attic/house, i'd love to see some little critters appear someday, i even put some gerbil food up in the attic...
