“The Dumbest Smart Person”

from JoeUser Forums

We had a mouse in our attic.  My wife, who grew up in the country, hates mice and wanted me to kill it. But I convinced her to let me capture the mouse.

So I put up this special mouse trap in the attic and this morning at 5am I heard noise in the attack. I leaped out of bed, went up in the attic and got my mouse and took this video.

Then, I took the mouse downstairs into the kitchen and put him in a fishbowl to transport him to the field near the office.  Then I went back upstairs to gather my stuff.

When I returned…the fish bowl was empty.

Turns out…Mice can jump really far.

So now the mouse is somewhere in our house. Probably in the kitchen.

Don't worry- mice only have 5-6 babies per litter
yea, but they have them every 2 months!

Wrong... mouse can have 10-12 babies by litter... gestation period is 20 days... the female having give birth is fertile again 14-24 hours after having give birth... if there is lactation, the new fertile eggs have implantation delayed of 3 to 10 days... so, in the best situation, you can have around 150 babies year, more if you count that female are ready to reproduce after 25-40 days and males after 50 days...

Sometime ago, i have catch a mouse who was sleeping each night at the top of my hamster cage, moving each night piece of old newspaper who was used below the cage for catch the hamster dirt... Having catch the mouse, i have put it with the hamster... now, i have 10 young mouse in the cage... hope that they cannot reproduce between brother-sister-mother !!!

 

Now, the kids of my girlfriend find the baby mouse cute... and my girlfriend have forbid me to trow them away !!!

Yeah, your done for. mice are incestious little buggers, they don't care what relation the other mouse is, as long as its the other sex.

Acutually, they don't even care if its the opposite sex. the look of two confused females humping each other is fairly hilarious.

Like most "higher" forms of life, they can. And they will, unless you give them another option.

Get rid of those quickly.

Brad should probably not show this to his wife: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKoTgY5HM68

Now THAT'S what I call a mouse invasion!

The thing that affects me the most with your video is when she stepped and crushed a mouse when she ran into the pigs place. You can see the red under her shoe.

There's not much to do when you can't place your foot ANYWHERE without stepping on a mouse.

I'll confess. I would likely completely panic when first faced with the threat of a mouse invasion.

I spilled my coffee laughing. :D

Mice are nasty little creatures who can escape from pretty much anything. They can actually deform their bodies to fit through pretty much any crack because they look large but they can become very long and slim if they need to get through a tiny little hole to escape. I know because I let the pet mouse of a friend escape once when looking after it for the summer...

Anyway, this thread made my day.

Yes, mice can jump really high, like out of a 30 gallon aquarium no problem. They can also chew through almost anything, and can lift many times their own weight. I once had a mouse try to steal a package of spaghetti through a hole in my kitchen ceiling. I turned the light on at night, and it started raining spaghetti!

In a plastic container, you have about 4 hours before he can chew his way out.
