I could hear him at night under the stove, and I saw him a couple of times by the fridge. He didn't like chocolate, butapparently likedpeanuts. They're prettycute, but they reproduce like crazy, so you've got to terminate them right away. I'm not sure, but he may have a cousin or two with him.

Poor little fella. At least it was painless, and he died doing what he loved.

 

It looks alive still

 

Yeah, he does. That's why I think it was quick; he didn't have time to blink. I checked immediately after I heard the trap to make sure it worked properly. He was DOA.

 

Did you know the whiskers on rodents can detect surface variations down to microns?!!! Each one connects to a small, fluid-filled sac under the skin, that then is wired directly to the brain. Frequency vibration, like when you hold a stick and run it down a picket fence, you feel the differences in texture and depth. Amazing!

Sounds like a blast. The smallest thing I have is a .22LR - the Mrs. won't go for that.

That's probably how they get aroung in complete darkness; facinating!

Well, I better hit the sack - it's 0230 hrs. here, goodnight.

 

I prefer humane traps and then let them out in some park, though, I'm not against letting my cats kill them. I know. I'm screwed up.

 

Tom is upset with you

 

I love having pet rats, great little rodents but mice are cat food.

 

We use live traps at my house :P

Even with ALL of that he still couldn't tell that it was a trap.. MWAHHAHAHAHA
