Scurry scurry

There is a little grey mouse that keeps dashing back and forth across my kitchen floor between under-the-refrigerator and under-the-oven. I've seen him once a day for the last five or so, quick out of the corner of my eye. I really wish I could just send one of my five mouse-eating snakes out after it, but the fact is that they are used to frozen food and it's much more likely that I'd lose a pet under the fridge than that I'd catch our unwanted visitor. So I guess I have to go buy a mousetrap or something.

Bleh.

I wouldn't feed them live. It's dangerous for pets who are unused to it. I might use a Havahart and then kill it cleanly myself for them.

Makes sense. When I was helping clean a basement recently, the decision came down in favor of "don't give it to the snakes, see if the cats will address the problem." Godric did.

Sadly, our cat passed away this summer. This may be why I've now seen a mouse in the house forthe first time since we moved here a decade ago.
