Sad to say but you'd be better off finding another home for the mouse if your cat doesn't drop trying to eat it in the next month, because eventually it'll either die from your cat succeeding, or just from sheer stress. Have you brought it to a vet already ?

I think you should move the cage to a darker, quieter area. (Like inside a wardrobe - I think the darkness allows rodents to feel more at home walking around or making a more permanent nest. (Oh yeah, add a bit more bedding in, more finely torn up though so it can make a comfy bed / cushion its tube.))

Just bought a new lightbulb and all :v: [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] I'll tear up some bedding more finely.

Are you sure that mouse doesn't have any diseases on him?

[QUOTE=paul simon;45488889] So darkness then? Alright. Just bought a new lightbulb and all :v:[/QUOTE] Well, think about it. Where does a mouse live? Unless you're lightning the insides of your walls it's probably quite dark there. Mice have naturally good night vision. [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=PicklePackle;45488927]Are you sure that mouse doesn't have any diseases on him?[/QUOTE] Interesting first post after 2 years. As long as he's handling the mouse with good gloves I don't think it particularly matters. He's already washed it, but what do I know, I'm no vet.

Well sorry. To be honest, I just needed an excuse to post to... test some things. Like my tiny-ass avatar.

[QUOTE=Gbps;45488932]Well, think about it. Where does a mouse live? Unless you're lightning the insides of your walls it's probably quite dark there. Mice have naturally good night vision.[/QUOTE] It made sense the moment I read it, so I went and turned off the artificial lighting.

Now you just need to buy an infared camera

I figure it can deal with it being brighter at daytime. It can still hide in the tubes and stuff when it wants darkness. [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] Also his official name is from now on [B][I]Taco[/I][/B] Sergeant Taco, in fact.

[QUOTE=smithy285;45489126][thumb] http://puu.sh/apAdQ/7794f78d97.jpg [/thumb] What is that? Looks like half a potato[/QUOTE] It's a piece of bread, the kind you make hot dogs with. Probably not the ideal food, but he's been eating from it earlier.

Bread is good for energy but bad on the nutrients and proteins it'll need to get healthy - if you have bird seed, it is good for emergencies. Nuts are good for protein, but try not to give them too many peanuts if you can (it can make them fat after a while).

[editline]24th July 2014[/editline] A veterinary is going to be very expensive, I'll have to talk to them first. I might not be able to afford it. [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] Again, this will be tomorrow. Everything is closed now.

Paul, if he dies, you must put him in a box and tie balloons to it, send him into space and fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a mousetronaut. And tape it. And put the moon theme from ducktales on it.

Let's see if he survives the night.

Why wait and see if he's gonna die, just send him to the moon, at least that way you will know for sure!

Need to throw a match in the box or something, can't see shit yo.

just went to have a look at the stream, and he's in critical condition, I hope Taco makes it through the night):

It's very sweet that you're so concerned for the little guy.
