Wild Mouse


x_x there'sa wild mouse in my room. I was clearing out my dad's laundry, and poof! A mouse was living there. (a testament to how often I bother to clean my room >_>) so I have a couple of questions, if this mouse were female, is it possible she's the reason why my boys suddenly hate each other? (it's gotten worse =X)
If it's male will he try to hurt my guys? I mean, the little dude is living right next to my mouse cages.
Also, my mice get out constantly, so is it probable that she's preggers? It looks really well feed, probably stealing their sunflower seeds ^^
Is there anyway I can trap her using a small cage? Where should I look if she has babies? ( I don't wanna trap a mother mouse and let her babies starve..) What are the probablities that her would be babies have markings other then agouti?


...MOUSE >_>

You should try and trap her (humanly of course!you can get humane traps at Wal-Mart) and release her somewhere else,as she could pass on parasites and disease to your domestic mice!!

Ok, the mouse is crazy (I'll just assume it's female)
She just nosed against my foot and scared me half to death. Aren't mice (especially the WILD ones) supposed to have an overwhelming fear of humans? >_>

The ones at my place do, and I don't think just because were on different sides of the world that the wild mice would be any different to your ones over there in America. Watch your pet mice though and if theirs any signs that they may have caught anything go see your vet. Wild mice have diseases which they can pass onto domestic mice, which can cause problems. If the wild mouse was a male mouse,if your males got out they'd probably have some kind of evidence on them to suggest that they're been fighting with the other male. If its female and has bubs during the night you may hear squeaks, and rustling from her moving around, try doing that if u can and u may find where she's hiding.
Kind Regards Rhiannon

The small plastic victor traps (or other tip-traps) work extremely well I've never not caught the mouse I was looking for when I use them

Look behind shelves and enclosed places for babies.
