Pet Mouse on the Loose HELP!

[Erana]

Really? Why not? They are charming pets, like tiny dogs. I've trained mine to come when I call them, and they lick your face in greeting, just like a dog.

-.- My dog knows better than to lick my face. Ick.
Still, I had a friend with rats in her dorm room, as well as a bird. Of course, you weren't supposed to have pets, so we called them, "Furry Fish." She wasn't so good to them, though, and her roomate wound up taking care of them most of the time...
I guess I don't like small animals because I'd be to afraid of stepping on them. I mean, if you stepped on a rat, or a Yorkie, or critters like that, they're in for quite the brusin'. I'd never live with myself! ;-;

Over time, your best bait is going to be water. There is no source of water in your room aside from his cage or whatever trap you lay out. He will get thirsty and take it

And if you do have standing pools of water in your room, you have bigger problems than an escaped mouse. Try spreading some diluted chloroform around. But I am neither a veterinarian nor a chemist, so that may not be the best idea. I am a somnambulist, though. Take that as you wish.

My girlfriends old hamster used to get out and her cats used to find it for her. Then they would lazily plop down and fall back asleep. It never left the room and it usually ended up getting stuck behind a bookshelf.

Don't say cat, don't say cat, don't say cat...

Snake?

Ahh, easy.

Buy a mouse of the opposite sex, release it into your room. Wait for babies.

Squeak squeak squeak they shall say.


Edit: You seemed kinda desperate so i was hoping you'd try this out and tell me.

Oh that note, if the mouse gets out of your room into the rest of the house, set the humane trap next to or behind the fridge. A lot of refrigerators have a drip pan for condensation and it's one of the few water sources they have. They will end up there eventually.

Also check other people's bedroom closets, which they tend to leave open. I learned most of these tricks trying to find lost gerbils (psychotic little escape artists!) Sometimes I wouldn't latch the rat cage securely and get up the next morning to find Dolly or Stella wandering around in the hall, and when the saw me, sometimes they would just come right up to me. "Hi! I been out all night! I'm ready to go back now."

Awwwww

Heh, one of my pet mice got out once when I wasn't looking, and I noticed because she was sitting as high up as she could get, patiently waiting to be noticed so she could go back home!

People really neglect their rats, which is very sad because the rats really do suffer because of it, especially if it's a single rat.

And there is a no-shoes rule when my rats are out. I did have one rat die from being stepped on. I'm the one that did it and it was terrible. With bare feet you can feel it in time and sort of twist your foot around them to avoid it, but with shoes or even hard-soled slippers, it's bad. I've had rats for over 10 years now.
