Mouse's Wood: A Year in Nature

Product Information

Love, love, love our Turning Wood Works Camel Mice families! Each mouse is turned with such care. Their darling eyes and sweet mouth with soft leather ears and tail gives each one its own personality and charm. Their body length ranges between 60-90mm, and the tail generally equals the length of its body, adding another 90mm.

They are omnivores, so they eat everything, even meat. Consume up to 30g of meals each day, and rely on water regularly If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you. Most mice species have a very short life expectancy in the wild – up to a year – with the exception of the dormouse, which can live for up to five years. This is rivalled only by the edible dormouse that can live for up to nine years! If you decide to carry out the work yourself, then you can buy amateur use poisons and traps from a hardware store or garden centre. It is crucial that you read the label fully before use.They weigh less than 25g, and their fur colour is uniformly light brown and grey, right down to the tail which has sparse hairs on it. Mice have a need to mark their territory with their urine and due to their sporadic eating habits, build nests near food sources. This puts anyone with an infestation at risk of food poisoning. If you choose to do the job yourself, what you can do right away is to have a thorough cleaning to get rid of all food remnants (crumbs, grains of sugar, or droplets of liquid). Rodents will eat anything left out, so deal with it right away and wash it up. All food should be stored airtight in a box, especially dry food and compost waste. Both mice and rats are extremely territorial. The rats will probably prevail in the struggle for survival if your house becomes inhabited by both. Due to the competition for food, it’s improbable that you will observe a rat and a mouse cohabitating in a house. Both varieties of rodents can only be supported by a large amount of food and habitat. Love, love, love our Turning Wood Works Beige Ears Mice families! Each mouse is turned with such care. Their darling eyes and sweet mouth with soft leather ears and tail gives each one its own personality and charm.

Food and shelter are the two key factors that can draw mice and rats to your home. Rodents absolutely love food waste on the floor, or surfaces, or otherwise easily accessible.. Along the way Mouse visits his woodland friends and the reader can open the flaps and peep inside their homes – from otter’s riverside cabin to squirrel’s tree house. Our qualified, responsible technicians will happily discuss your pest problem and provide friendly, expert advice. The breeding season is between February and October. Females produce litters of four to eight young up to six times in one year. The young stay with their mothers for around twenty days and reach sexual maturity after two months. During this time the female mouse will go through what is known as a fertile postpartum estrus, which occurs 14 to 24 hours following the birth.

Individuals will nest communally in the winter but in the spring females usually take up their own home ranges and nest singly. However, home ranges shared by two females have been observed. Breeding males range over larger areas occupied by a number of females. Field vole: larger body and shorter tail than bank vole (one of its alternative names is short-tailed vole). Overall it has shaggier fur, furry ears and is greyish or yellowish brown with a pale grey underside. Common in grassland, heathland and moorland but less likely to be spotted than bank vole as it spends its time in runs and burrows. Leaving these in the open can result in primary and secondary poisoning of non target animals, such as birds scavenging on the carcass. Also known as the short-tailed vole, field vole is common species in grassland, heathland and moorland.
