Dunkield Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just when I thought it is squirrels that are hammering the nuts in the garden, I saw this little fella filling his boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 He is back there now as we speak, I can't believe how much he can pack away. Once full he just drops off the end of the cage onto the lawn, scarpers through the fence and then climbs up the vine and down the cage again for more - it's better than watching the telly. If the dog gets a sniff of him he will go nuts (excuse the pun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Good one, I nigh on bricked it when I went to fill up the myriad of feeders and found a mouse in one of the plastic ones. I think he was just as surprised as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I used to think them hanging about was "fun" and "nice to see" until a one did 3k's worth of damage to a vehicle's wiring loom I had parked in the garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Mouse or Yellow Necked Mouse . The two are quite difficult to tell apart - I get both in my garden and it's usually only by catching them I can get close enough to tell the difference . House Mouse has smaller eyes and ears, shorter in tail length and is generally more drab in colour. .243 for House Mouse, but the others can be had with something a bit smaller :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 It has big ears as you see in the picture, but what you maybe can't see so clearly is it dark on the back and much lighter underneath. If this thread carries on I will upload the video, if only to annoy Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Isn't it a doormouse and therefore protected?? Coat is lighter and ears are bigger. I stand to be corrected though. Boondock Edited to add:- Maybe not, Shoot at will If this is a dormouse - I'll eat it - its very much more likely a wood mouse/field mouse. House mice, as mentioned, have smaller eyes and dormice have yet to become urbanised and brown. Nice, unusual pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
