Was cleaning the garage earlier and opened a drawer to find this:

Which is odd as i dont remember cutting up paper

Little nest!

Should i be worried about the fact they are growing up in oil soaked paper. I fear I'm going to be attacked my mutant mice

Farm them, drain their urine and sell it as 0W 40 full synthetic - play Motorworld at their own game I say.

lol merlin

Awwwwww, they're so cute. They must like the smell of oil if they're practically living in it.

What are you going to do?

Foghorn Leghorn · 10 Apr 2006 at 20:49

For the win

I'm going to sound a noob but are they hamsters or mice or what?

merlin · 10 Apr 2006 at 20:55

Si - I dare you to post me one in a Jiffy bag, give it some cheese to eat on the way down and send it 1st class.

I'll post a pic of him when he arrives.

get a cat

seriously, if they are not in the house and they aren't eating anyhting you care about I'd leave them tbh. It's not like you eat off your garage floor or anything so they're not doing any real harm bar mouse poo on the floor and shredded newspaper in the desk.

Are you sure they aren't rats?

Captain Kirk · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:06

If they like the smell of oil/get used to it, then they may be of use when you do your next oil drain. Send them down your tubes to clean them out

NightSt@lk3r · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:07

if im attacked by mutent rats i know who to blame

Jonny69 · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:14

Eek eek eek. So cute

Get the spade :mad:

MrSix · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:25

awww, don't be so nasty you guys.

They're cute - leave them in there, it's obviously taken some time for the mum to build that little nest.

Once they've moved out of there then take all of the stuff out and they'll find a new home.

Simon · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:43

There loads of the things in there I think. Little tiny pink mice so I guess they are very young.

I didn't want to disturb them too much. I don't think theres much food about so hopefully they will clear off. It's just in one of the drawers of a desk in my garage

Lol.

If they can chew through Stainless steel I will know that the oil's made them mutate

AFAIK RATS like OIL!

They were known to eat old telephone cables (back in the day cables were oil filled!)

Simon · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:56

I wonder if they are rats then :eek:

That's what I meant.

Mice can be quite destructive mind.
