This guy got himself into some trouble last night.
When I went to do chores this morning, the chicken feed barrel was already open. Apparently one of the @little-peppers must have forgot to close it up last night. When I looked down into the barrel, there were two little wild mice trapped in the bottom. One managed to get out and run away immediately, but I was able to being this one out in the open for a photo shoot.
I think going from the dark barrel to the bright sunlight made it squint a bit in some of the photos. I hope you like them!

Ironically, caused by the fleas carried by the rodents, right?
You really don't want mice in the house. Their droppings alone carry a load of bacteria that can really cause some health problems; and they chew through everything and cause havoc wherever they go.
They are really cute...but a real pain in the neck!

I once made friends with a wild mouse. He became so tame that I could call his name and he would come running and set in my hand and stare at me. I had to tell him goodbye one day when I moved away. I hope he lived a long cat-free life.

In a house they are pests, and unfortunately at times they have been responsible for the propagation of some diseases which have been devastating, so I think that those are the main reasons for people disliking and fearing them.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Most of those diseases have been taken care of by modern antibiotics. I still believe it's wrong to kill them just because. That isn't a good reason.

They multiply unbelievably rapidly. One male female pair reproducing can lead to tens of thousands of mice over the period of a year. This is because they can breed a litter of 6-8 and gestation is only 6 weeks. After giving birth, the female can get pregnant again immediately. And the babies born are sexually mature at about 8 weeks and begin breeding too.

Oh, how cute little critters! Why are some people afraid of them? When i was a child, i often met them in the henhouse. Of course my clothes were full of chicken shit after this adventure. I caught a mouse, then shown it to my grandmother, who gave it to our cat, Mafia. But he did not eat mice, only meat and milk.

Besides, usually when you get rid of them alive they get themselves right back into the house...
Sad as it is, you do usually have to kill them to really get them out of the house and save yourself a whole infestation.

I don't just set them down outside my door when I catch one. There's plenty old abandoned areas far enough away from my house for them to be released at. The extra effort is not a big deal for me at all.

Yes the old mouse stuck in the feed bin mishap, we've had that happen here many times. Over the years the lids of some of our bins seem to have broken (from a cow knocking them off the bin and then proceeding to stomp over it as they are getting shooed away from said bin) or disappeared and we find little mice in them on occasion. If we see them and there isn't much feed left in the bin we'll take it outside and let them be, if they happen to get in a fuller bin we grab them by their little tails and set them free. Although this time of year I think they'd rather stay in the barn. :D LOL. :D
Great pictures. They are cute little critters. Good thing our dog Mya wasn't around them or they'd be eaten for sure. She's a very good mouser. :D I'd be squinting too if I was going from inside to out in the bright sunshine, even with sunglasses so I can't blame the mice for doing the same. :D
God bless you and the pepper clan. :D Have an awesome day my friend! :D

It does happen often, if the lid is left open. I guess it is an easy way to get a check on rodent activity or the population.

Good shots of this such a cute mouse, especially - little dark eyes. One day, when I was working at the carpenter's factory, my comrades and colleagues
chased one such mouse & catched it in the corner the gap between the wall and floor. These animals constantly interfered between our legs & bored us a little bit. Therefore, taking advantage of this inconvenient moment for a mouse, one of my good friends decided to realize the punishment for their molestation. He took a small belt and began slightly & gently slap this naughty creature. It was very funny to look at this scene of slapping this little mouse - everyone was laughing out loud at that funny moment... ))

Nice photos of mice. Now you want to come to my place and take a few of baby rats? Went out to do the laundry the other morning and heard a peculiar scratching noise coming from the dog food bin. I thought nothing of it as the cat was scratching at the bin. A little later my son opened the bin to feed the dogs and low and behold, staring back up at him were two baby rats! Usually, it is catch and release, but there has been a run on diseases lately so they were dispatched. The cat latr found 4 more. We have been hunting for mamma but no luck so far. These are the first rats in over seven years and they usually come from our neighbour's place. We won't go there right now...
