Recently we discovered we had a mouse in the house, so i bought a humane mouse trap and caught it. Because we had been told that they usually come in pairs, we put it in a box with some hay, water and a biscuit and set the trap again. You've guessed it, the mouse escaped. So after a few days we caught it again and out it in a plastic container, again with some hay, water etc while we waited to catch the other one, you've guessed it, it escaped again, so after another few days we managed to trap it again, and this time pit it in a metal biscuit tin, this time it didn't escape, but we didn't catch the other one either, so we took it a set distance and set it free. A couple of days later a chap knocked at the door with some info about the Wildlife Trust www.wildlifetrusts.org and because of the drama with the mouse we decided to contribute. This is the card (sorry, i can't get the picture to upload the right way round) he left and look, it has a mouse on it!!
