Trap the mouse - An extraordinary challengesteemCreated with Sketch.

in blog •  7 years ago 

Hey there,

I have already mentioned it during my post in the morning. We got a new pet this weekend. A mouse. I haven't seen her yet, but my girlfriend has seen here - once.

Key facts: black, 10cm, long tail

After several different tries to build a trap out of an PET bottle, I decided to recreate a simpler version of a mousetrap.

In the picture below you can see my prototype. All you need is a container, chocolate cream, a piece of wood, a can and a ramp to pave the way for the mouse.

As an appetizer I positioned a cashew nut at the end of the ramp to motivate the mouse.

In the ideal case, our new friend grabs the nut and asks for more - sees the chocolate cream - jumps on the can and falls into the container.

Then I can let the mouse out again into the nature where it belongs.

She has not bitten yet. But I'll keep you up to date.

Cheers
