DON'T DO IT! I am not a vet, but common sense says that mice have disease if they are wild. With that said, I want to share an experience. I had two ferrets before I moved, and I also had an albino python. I feed the SNAKE mice. One day, I thought it would be fun to let one of my ferrets play with the mouse before feeding it to the snake... Little did I know what would happen. I really thought it would be a funny site. My roommate and I took the mouse, and put it in the shower (we didn't want the mouse going to the bathroom on the floor..). Next, we took one of my ferrets, and I put her about 2 feet from the mouse. No sooner than I let go, the mouse was dangling by the neck from my ferrets mouth!!! It was actually a really funny site, but not at the time. I had to PRY the mouth open to take the mouse out. The ferret looked like it had a baby in its mouth... She wouldn't let go. The mouse died instantly... Never seen a snake do it as fast. [JS] [Posted in FML issue 1331]
