Look what the cat brought in
Viv's household caught a mouse a while ago; they said they were gonna kill it but nobody could actually do it. He's been living in an inverted tupperware since, together with the mouse trap with which he was caught and McVitie chocolate digestives, and has fondly been named Edwin. I went round to collect it today - just gonna take a couple of shots and perhaps release it - goodness knows what kind of diseases he might carry! Although he looks healthy enough, and I know of people who keep them as pets. Most friends I know destroy the mice they catch - so much for the holes they leave in biscuits and the contaminated cereals. They're quite common around our old Victorian apartments, these House Mice, Mus domesticus... the original ancestors of our pet mice.

they can chew through tuperware so be warned! Don't want an outbreak. Mine seems fine...for now anyway...
yes don't worry. having kept dozens of mice and hammies before has taught me that these rodents can chew through just about anything once they put their mind to it! :P
You have some spare Dolmio jars don't you? Just pop down to NHM and see if anyone's nice enough to give you some preserving fluid (I quite like formaldehyde, smells quite nice....). Armed with a syringe and sedatives, I'm sure I could embalm this little creature. It won't be able to chew thru anything then!!! Ha ha ha!
Hmn... perhaps my cat would like it as a new plaything....
cuuuute :P
