Mouse escapes? Two nights ago the wife announced that there was a wee mouse in the humane trap. We decided to leave it overnight with a bit of cheese and liberate it the next day into the Kirk Yaird. But next morning the trap was empty. Cheese gone and so had the mouse-amazing as this is the Colditz of mouse traps-no way out through the one way system. This really was the Meister Maus. Up to a point as it had gone a mere 6 inches and was comprehensively deaded in the ‘little nipper’ break-your-neck-in-a-jiffy next door. So that is 3 dead, 9* captured and one escaped briefly. And would you believe it this morning there is a tiny little mousling all snuggled up in the humane trap and was most reluctant to be set free. This time I took it for a very long walk so I hope we will not see it again.
*10 now.
