It will take a bit of work to present more of the story.
I tried to upload a video of mouse snatching food from another mouse!
The clip was so large (not downsized as for email) that after half an hour download was not complete. Thus I tried to capture still images from the videos, trimmed, that's why they are so fuzzy.
Next stills captured show ears, and whiskers!
Another video (which I might try to upload sometime later) showed a" kind" trap in which I can catch a mouse and let it go outside, far away.
One afternoon I caught 28 mice in 2 hours. They thought it was great fun, coming back and getting caught 4 or 5 times each! Finally I just gave up.
When I went away to Queensland in September I was worried they might wreck the place. However all was normal and the mice had all gone. The only drama was the damage done in the shed to the plastic containers of seeds. Even then they left me the new seeds I needs for summer! It is as if they might Know what they are doing....I just cleaned up after them.
In Victoria's Wimmera district one farmer had to buy $40,000 worth of Zinc phosphide, mouse bait; so huge is the plague expected to be. It is a most horrible way to die, if you read up the toxicology.
