Bugsy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Anyone know where these can be bought in France ? The large ones that can catch quite a few............don't ask why I want to know [Www][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Bugsy, the OH got one from, I think, a Weldom branch. Ours is just a very lightweight round wire cage with a hole for the animals to get in and the hole is designed so that they can get in but not get out.We've loaded it with all sorts of cheese and bacon (though not Cathedral City as you have specified elsewhere on the forum) but I think we have only ever caught one or two.

Bugsy Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks for that. I'm looking for something like this and could buy it from the UK but the postage is high.Tip: You have to place the trap alongside a wall that you know they use. The chunky cat food is a good bait BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It's well proven that the best baits are peanut butter or chocolate, the cheese thing is a bit of a myth [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 If you are so nice to mice, why not rats? Surely, put down the little blue bags and have done with them. It is not a question of humanity but of disease and filth and the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, if it only takes 30 seconds, they won't feel a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joffan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 This thread reminds me of my friend who bought a humane mouse catcher. He caught several mice and took each of them off to the country and let them free. When he went on holiday is parents looked after the house, on his return his mother remarked that she thought the mouse catcher was cruel - "just leaving the poor things to starve like that". !!!!

mint Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Don't tell me, Joffan, she decided she had to feed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 We used the blue wheat stuff and our mouse looked real good on it, nicely fed, good coat, bright eyes. so I blocked up the hole!I have a picture but I don't know how to paste it up on the forum.

Joffan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi Sweet 17That wouldn't have been too bad, then my friend could have let them go. She just let them die of starvation - poor things. Don't get me wrong I can't stand mice in the house but I wouldn't want to harm them.Joffan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
