h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I hear you are doing some interesting research on diabetes, involving mouse urine. How is that going? Will you be working with mice for a long time, or will you be researching something else? Do tell!

Mice are nice, ....with thier teeth they slice,.... ours do not have lice!

I believe the lady was asking about what you do with mice, not about your mice in specific. However, if you would like to describe your mice, I believe there is a forum for that. Please take it to "Tell me about mice!" on the page of... Never mind. I'm going to go now...

Actually, I was wondering if you have a humane way or removing mice from a location. The mice in my house have been frolicing around my floor all day. I saw one tear out from under a pile of clothes, skitter in a 360 on the polished wood floor and tear off in the direction it came. Of course, it returned to the floor again a few moments later (or was it another mouse?) and chose an arbitrary direction in which to run. I have no heart for squishing mouse traps nor for suffocting glue traps (the squealing keeps me up). What would you recommend besides a pet.

There are "humane" mouse traps available on the market, they are small cages that trap the mouse inside
when the mouse comes to get the bait. Then, you can take them to a park and release them away from
people's homes. With reguard to bait, mice often like nesting material better than food. You might try
cotton balls as they attract no bugs
