    Awww, that is so cute.

    I used to volunteer at the rescue centre, they get some amazing creatures in there, do great work with badgers.

    My mother hadn't the heart to set snap traps so she had a couple of live trap. She would let them off down the garden as soon as they were caught.

    That is so cute, I wouldnt kill them either, it seems cruel. Its not their fault if they are searching for food.

    Where we were they used to manage to escape from those.

    Those dreadful glue traps are the worst things. They are in at least one shop here .

    But mice can cause so much damage if loose in the kitchen. Sometimes a standard trap is the only way.

    Don't think there's much chance of catching a Dormouse in any trap in this country Run to da hills! :rolleyes:

    I think taking any hibernating animal out of it's nest for a photoshoot is despicable.

    I used to take an extra curricular drama class in primary school, and every couple of weeks I'd make some excuse to get the master key from my teacher, then I'd go around "mouse trap sabbing", snapping all the traps with a ruler :rolleyes:

    Ahhhh... Dormouse is so cute!! I really would like to see one in the flesh!!

    Last summer I had 3 field mice in my garden shed after leaving the door ajar one night. They were little fur balls that climbed up and down the wall so my husband called them spider-mouse. We managed to capture all 3 of them with a humane trap purchased from Woodies. They were very scared in the plastic tube, but at least they were set free with tummy full of peanut butter! :D
