Mouse attack

25.5.9 Mouse attack!
There are two little breeding setups in the greenhouse. I hope they like the extra warmth there. The mice obviously do. The snails are in washing up bowls, covered with old onion bag netting. Morning after morning I was finding holes in the netting, and all the sunflower seeds gone. I put two live mouse traps near the bowls. I caught a healthy looking woodmouse three days running. Each day, wondering if the same mouse was returning, I took it further away. Then there were less, but still the odd one had been there, bitten through the netting and eating the seeds without being caught in the traps.
