    It could be that you have a high female population of mice that are looking for nesting materials, not food. Try using cotton balls or ripped-up paper towels instead of food.
  • Question
    Can I keep a mouse as a pet in a trap? I want a mouse but my family won't let me get one because "they're gross". I can't get a big cage or my family will know. What about maybe a cereal box as a cage?

    Wild animals are not meant to be pets; the mouse will suffer because it's not meant to be confined like a pet mouse. It would be cruel to keep it in a cereal box.
  • Question
    Is there any way I can get mice out of my room without telling my family? I'm 14 and my room was messy. It might not be my fault but I've seen two mice and I'm afraid my family will get mad if I tell them.

    When you are free, you can create a default mouse trap and catch the mouse. But, also keep in mind that your family is your family and that they won't get mad if you just tell them the problem. If that is not working, then catch the mouse yourself.

    You can simply upscale the build. You can use an old water jug and smaller sticks. The only problem would be deciding what kind of bait to use.
