Very determined Mouse!

Quote:It was my fault for leaving the little oven door open. The other scrubbing I can deal with. I can also put some more stuff in glass jars. I have 25 2-litre jars stacked in my spare bedroom for goodness sake!

Glass jars keep things better anyhow. They sit nicely on shelves and you can see what is in them.

I live in Toronto...mouse central, so all my food is always in glass or metal or hard plastic.  I am used to it. You will find out what part of your kitchen he can't reach and keep your bread there. Mice can't climb onto my kitchen table for some reason so I can put food there.

It does seen dangerous to put him out now if it has become so cold. Maybe you and the mouse can still work out a deal so that he leaves some things alone.

I actually haven't had mice since I brought a snake into my place. The snake can't get at them, but they know the snake(s) are there.
I still keep things in glass just in case the mice figure out that the snakes live in terrariums. Mice are smarter than we think.
