Mice are going to a better (or worse) home tonight or tomorrow.
I caught another two after over two weeks of nothing. One of them totally intergrated and the other one they absoluted destroyed.
He has a gash under his eye and bites all over his legs and he's now missing a toe on this right hand...clearly he was an unwelcome male.
And one of them lost an inch of tail (during the scruffle?) via the skinning method but has since chewed it off (there was just the bone/gristle left) and seems fine again.
I'm going to be releasing them down by my local river. I'll put them on the other side of the river so there is a nice barrier (as well as several miles) between us.
Would it be a good idea to leave them their current bed (the converse box) as a place they can hide in until they get used to where they are? I'm gunna leave them a pile of food for them (is that a good idea?).
