The eaten mouse.

Foleyart

Dunno where to post this really its a bit freaky. Basically, new house 3-4 yrs. every winter we have mice. Closed off all the little holes I could find but they still manage to get in somewhere. Underfloor heating very attractive for them, also messy teenagers leaving choice food everywhere for them. Anyway last night my wife spotted one caught in a trap under the kitchen sink, I meant to throw it out but forgot before going to bed. 5.30am got up for a drink of water and heard rattle under sink but left it till this morning. The trap, one of these new plastic ones, had fallen in behind so I had to pull out the skirting to get at it. No sign of the mouse !! then I opened the trap and found its head still in there. there was blood around the jaws of the trap. My question, what on eaarth could have eaten the mouse ?????This is not a joke folks and I can tell you it has me freaked!!! would a rat do this???:eek:

If there is mice then it is unlikely you have rats, rats will make mice disappear pretty rapidly.
Mice can be cannibalistic and that is probably what happened.

and the fact that they arent really great , not good if allergic
Although Sphynx cats are sometimes thought to be hypoallergenic due to their lack of coat, this is not always the case. Allergies to cats are triggered by a protein called Fel d1, not cat hair itself. Fel d1 is a tiny and sticky protein primarily found in cat saliva and sebaceous glands. Those with cat allergies may react worse to direct contact with Sphynx cats than other breeds
