What do you do with dead mice?
 

Cuz I just realized some neighborhoods might frown on my habit of dropping them off the porch so the chickens can play football with them.

We have these plastic sleeves that newspapers are delivered in. Mouse goes in sleeve, tie a knot, throw in trash can. Keeps flies down.

Rich people wasting protein.

All the dead mice I've ever seen were promptly swallowed by a snake.

Dead mice go wherever's handy. Usually out the back door.

Live mice, from sticky traps or live traps, go to the maintenance building at the local city park. Pull that big sliding door away from the building just a li'l bit, in ya go.

I don't like the guy that does park maintenance.

I laughed at that visual.

Larfed, actually.

I always threw my trapped dead mice on the hill next to the shithole. Area cats would find them and eat them right off the traps.

I did not re-use the traps

Always re-use the traps.

Psychological warfare.

I have had one for years that I didn't find for a while after it got snapped.
Ants and whatever cleaned it up to a perfect little skeleton and that is how it remains, trap and all.

over the scant wire fence into brush area of the unbuilt lot behind. The dead mice we get are usually gifts and usually incomplete....

Dead mice make fine pets for dead hobos.

to yonder woods with yer we dead Ass !!

no-one has a recipe then?

It's difficult to come up with a good recipe for mice that are past their expiration date.

Need a vintage cookbook, maybe?

If you find one, there's a recipe for Dead Baby Mice Wine to go with it (they're supposed to be alive when you make it though).

I don't find many dead mice around here, but from time to time I put out rat bait - works like a charm. Usually, the rats go somewhere else to die, but every once in awhile I'll find a huge expired rat in the yard or garage. They get flung into the brush that surrounds my place.

Now that I've got a POS neighbor on the property next door, I do believe I'll start flinging them in his direction. A dead rat for a toxic rat of a neighbor. Seems right to me.

Woman, get outta my head!!!

:D :sweat:

Made Momdigr aware of this and she thought for a second, and then larfed.

And larfed.

By coincidence, I just today learned about Chinese mouse wine. :vomit:

If you hadn't put me on ignore, you would have learned about it five days ago in post #16.

Oh hey, check that out. I even vaguely recall seeing it, although I think I thought at the time that the phrase parsed as "dead baby" mice wine, as if it were to ward off SIDS. But I admit I've been skimming over the last week or so. Too many pain-in-the-ass distractions IRL.

Oh hey, I understand. You don't trust yourself around me. I get that from married women all the time. :lol2:

Mr. Vice President, is that you?

All the dead mice I’ve never seen were apparently swallowed by a snake (cf post in wildlife living next to/moving in with you).

Fun fact: I've always had trouble with the Latin abbreviation "cf." E.g., i.e., n.b., etc. never bothered me, but cf always made me stop for a second and derailed my train of thought. Finally, in college I decided it now stood for "see fucking," as in "see fucking Staines & Johnson, 2007," and my brain accepted it.

A friend of mine is a taxidermist/artist. He stuffs them and puts them in his shadow box art pieces, etc.

Did you share those here? I know I've seen that done.

I haven't posted them before but here are a few:

That is awesome. The ones I remember were shoe box scenes.

Back in the early '80s, I got a copy of a then new book called 101 Uses for a Dead Cat. I see there have since been spinoffs for this animal and that animal, even 101 Uses for a Dead Kindle; but, still no 101 Uses for a Dead Mouse! I wonder what conspiracy theorists have to say about this.

NOTHING!! If they know what's good for them!!! :rattat:

You could make leather from their hides and upholstery your interior.

Don't you worry your pretty little head abut his interior...

This belongs here I think (NSFW).

That is nothing short of fucked up. I love it!!:lol2:

A friend of mine collects roadkill and dresses them up in dolls clothes and poses them in various scenarios, taking photos of them, making photoplays. One particularly funny one was a chipmunk having an assignation with a hunchback of notre dame happy meal toy when the chipmunks husband, played by my friend's living cat, comes in and goes mental on the adulterers.

He might have too much time on his hands.

My GF is running a trap line at the moment to rid her sauna of mice for the upcoming sauna season. she's already caught about 15. She's got 11 traps set for this weekend. I'm thinking a couple hundred more and she can make a small jacket.

Such a jacket though!

What is it about the Chinese that everything needs to be cooked while it is still alive?

Like life isn't brutal and horrific enough already.

:D

You know that joke!

First date?

I bet that would be a good learning experience.
