      Shawn, have you considered placing mirrors in the areas where you leave the dead mice for wild animals to eat them, to see how the wildlife would react to seeing their own reflection?

  • @leifhietala8074
    @leifhietala8074 3 місяці тому +139

    If I remember rightly, you once illustrated that the addition of a fairly thin layer of sawdust in the bottom of the bucket was sufficient to prevent most mice jumping out. The sawdust prevents them getting a good launch and they wind up falling short.

    • @Jay22222
      @Jay22222 3 місяці тому +13

      If you have an old 5gal, cut the top several inches off the bucket, install a dizzy dunker or similar and use it as a spacer on top of another 5gal bucket.
      Unnecessary for a lot of people but could be significantly useful in a lot of other circumstances where you don’t want to buy a 7 gal.
      Sorry to piggyback off this comment, just seemed a suitable place to put useful info

    It all depends on the species of mouse.
    Mice in Australia would jump out with ease.
    I know because I have keeped so many field mice as pets.
    They can jump almost 3 feet and can get through a hole as wide as your little finger.
    They are capable of dislocating every bone in there body. That gives them the ability to go anywhere they want.

    Even if its 17 inches, I think if you add a piece of rubber molding around the edge it would prevent them from grabbing the edge to climb out. Or put slight bit of peanut oil at the bottom so they can't get any traction. Good video.
