Oh, Loreta, this makes me sad! Why? I think mice are cute, too. But..... they come into my house (haven't discovered the entry point) from the field outside, and they chew into everything to get to food. I have had to play god with these cute little field mice. I have sent several to mouse heaven. So sad when I do it. I tried the alternative of sticky mouse pads, which catches them alive, but if I don't find it right away, they still die a slow, terrifying death. The ones I did find before they died, I took outside and gently removed them from the sticky paid into the field. But nature will take its course there, as hawks and snakes love mice. Nature always has its way.
