Hi, We just learned we have mice and we are leaving humane traps around for them. (someone at the local wildlife refuge releases them into a woods for us). The person advising us about getting rid of mice in the house said that no food of any kind should be left out because we'd never be able to get rid of them no matter what method we use. We know, too, that ferrets need to have their food left out for them 24 hours a day, and know that ferrets eat off and on all through the night. Ours lost ounces the few times we've had to take her off food for a medical appointment. Has anyone dealt with this problem of having mice and also having to leave ferret food out? thanks for any information, Jean [Posted in FML issue 3868]
