Mice

[Birdbrain]

Are there mouse traps that catch mice alive so you can release them in the forest?

None that work well, I'm afraid. I usually just let my cats solve the problem. Seeing how smug a 25 lb cat looks after he gives you a mouse is quite hilarious.

well, I'd rather they be eaten by a cat then killed senslisly

Best you can do is get a cat, as long as they don't torture the things, as some like too. Avoid the sticky traps like a plague, they either force the mouse to starve or chew off body parts to escape.

My friend has a mouse trap that captures mice alive I'll ask him for the name later

if some do like to tourture them, you could deter that by getting a fake mouse and putting treats inside so they learn to eat them instead of tourtring them

Most mouse traps are designed to kill the mouse. I've seen some that trap it, but they usually aren't very effective at catching not containing the mouse. Should you choose this route, be careful. Wash your hands IMMEDIATELY after releasing the mouse and use gloves of available.

You could build a simple trap yourself with a small box and a support for a heavy lid, when the mouse goes into the box for food it should knock the support and trap it inside the box, just be sure to check it often and I'm not sure how effective it is :/

The only problem with catch & release is.....they'll just end up bank in your house.

i plan on traveling far away with them and releasing them in a forest

birdbrain likes animals, its just the way he is, so yes, i guess thats accurate.

If you got mice I don't think traps and setting them free will work to control them. They tend to breed very fast and probably have a nest around the area. So you may need to get some help.

This is illegal just FYI. You'd be cross contaminating wildlife and the pathogens they carry. You can't even move a chipmunk from a garden and put it in the woods a few blocks away legally, because it could infect the ecosystem with disease or parasites. I had a very interesting discussion with a park ranger on the matter.

Just think for a second about this mouse. You're taking it out of it's environment that it's known it's whole life, and dumping it in a strange land. What's going to happen? I hate to sound cold, but you'd be killing it anyway. That mouse won't survive. Within 24 hours, he will be lunch for another critter. Or this time of year, depending on weather and location, die from lack of shelter. Both arguably a death with much greature suffering and mental agony than a mousetrap. Then what happens? Whatever eats it takes in all of its germs. Those germs might do nothing. They might cause bubonic plague levels of death and pestilence. Or anywhere in between. Granted, the odds are greatly in favor of "nothing" or "a little bit of illness spread" and next to 0 for causing a plague, but what's the point in risking any at all for no reason?

[Birdbrain]

In that case. I'll just keep them as pets
