Humane Mouse Trap

I'm sick again today, so I had to stay home from school, and I had lots of free time. My parents caught a mouse in that horrible trap they use, so I searched the internet for humane ones I could make myself, because.... I don't think that the mice deserve to die just because of what they are. All they're trying to do is survive.


The evil trap.

I found a few, and decided to use the bottle one, because it was really easy to make, unlike the others. I couldn't find a two liter bottle though, so I had to use a smaller one. I hope the mouse can't escape from it. I put harvest crunch cereal and soy nuts in the bottom as bait. I think the mice should be able to smell it well enough. I was going to use peanut butter, but I have no idea where my mom keeps it. If I'd known where it was I would've used that instead.


My nice, humane trap.

I put the trap in the same cupboard as where my parents had put that evil, torturous trap, so that I was sure the mice would be able to find it. I hid it from plain view behind some boxes and milk bags that were already there. I'll get a picture of the trap as soon as I can. The batteries from my camera are still charging.

I really hope that the mice go into the trap I made instead of the other one. If they knew the difference, they would. But then again, if they knew the difference, why would they go into the traps at all?
