c,
When we lived in Brooklyn we had a house mouse we named Retread. He had
been living in the wall. I had set out a glue trap and caught him. Then
there is the question of what to do with the mouse struggling on the
glue trap. Decided human process was to place glue trap and mouse under
front wheel of truck. Then found I did not have the heart to follow
through. Besides, was not sure about legal issues of driving with glue
trap stuck to tires.
We put him in an aquarium w/ food & water. He looked lonely so I bought
a white mouse. Have you ever sexed a mouse? Me neither. Next thing we
knew we had a whole lot of mulatto mice. It went on for quite a few
years with our mouse colony and eventually the inbreeding led to tumors
and such. It was a lot easier than the pygmy hedgehogs.
When we were kids we used to have chipmunks. Norwegian rats are
interesting pets.
