Oh crap- My snooker table is in the corner.

Ah well I expect to find everything eaten by tomorrow morning, maybe I should leave them too it and leave some black bags out for them

Kill them and clean up your garage.

One of my sponges in the shed got nibbled, I can imagine a mouse on a nice, comfy bed now!

Give them a bar of soap, seriously!

I used to have rats/mice (never did see them) in my old flat. Bars of soap constantly went missing. I happened to mention it to somebody, and they said they loved soap. Cue plates of blue rodent posion! :mad:

If it were me, I'd contact the RSPCA and ask them to evict your non-paying residents. Then again that match idea would be a good....with a little lighter fuel.

No wrong lol, put them in a black bin bag and drown them.

One thing, make sure whether they are mice or rats.

Rat :

Mouse :

Mice can and will be rather destructive as they tend to eat 4 to 10 times thier weight in food just to stay ahead of thier metabolism. Rats on the other hand, will only grow to as big as thier pallatble food supply is, and they tend to be rather picky eaters. Mice will eat anything they can chew.

If they're rats, I would keep my eye on them and as soon as they look like they're ready to open thier eyes, take them and start feeding them yourself and make them pets. If they are mice, I would get them out of there and as far away from your house as possible, preferrably in a trash bin and dead. Rats make EXCELLENT "pocket" pets, even if they were born in the wild. They are the easiest animals to domesticate into pets. Mice, on the other hand, are only good as pet food for owls and snakes. They make TERRIBLE pets.

Any other questions as to making a rat a pet, all three IM proggies are under my avatar.....

hell if you starve mice they will chew each other. my sisters had mice and never fed them, found theyd been trying to eat each other :eek:

had me a pet rat once, great things, good for keeping aunts out of the house

agreed, i wouldn't be without my rats. unfortunately they are too small to tell now. the best way of seeing is if the animal has big back paws. rats do.

Isn't there a chance that they could have some nasty decease that they can pass on to you if you get bitten, weils disease or something :confused:
