Trap #6 Continues |

Man Vs Mouse Intro © 2000 Paul Perkins |
The next day I checked the trap. Bingo! Something had sprung it. I could tell right away that the seed had been eaten. Was there a mouse corpse underneath? I had to know.
I flipped the traps over. No mouse. Fooey! Honestly, I didn't figure that the traps would succeed. At best they probably whapped the mouse in the head. Then it probably came back and ate some of the pretzel. A fast-forward: I didn't have have a drop to drink over the next few days. I feared getting snapped that much. I repeated this experiment over several days. The mouse did not touch the pretzel, but would occasionally eat seed I had scattered around. I'm not including pictures of the unsnapped traps.

From my cartoon experience I know that Swiss cheese is a mouse's favorite kind of cheese.
