I have had good success catching ferret-food-eating mice using a metal Hav-a-Heart trap, baited with either peanut butter or ferret food. I put it out at night after the fuzzies are tucked up in their cage, and usually capture the mouse within a night or two. You have to release the mouse at least a mile away or it will find its way back to your home. I take mine to the dumpster at MacDonalds, where it can feast on french fries.
