Maybe our mice are heavier

We have some lucky little mice in our garden... enjoying our strawberrys.. so, war is on!

They are clever and very lucky.......
you need more of a hair trigger on that
i have always found the steel ones to be better, they tend to nip me, before you put them in place
We had some unlucky mice in our garden, getting its head ripped off by our evil cow of a cat...
We still have the old wooden Little Nipper traps we've used for years, 4 for £1 when we bought them and they are still the best remedy for mice. We got 5 in two days a couple of weeks ago, they were eating the bits dropped of the bird table and coming nearer and nearer to the house so they had to go.
Little Nipper with a bit of Mars bar or Milky way works a treat
Your mouse trap sucks !
Thats no a mouse trap, that a Feeding table for Mice....
Swap it for a little nipper and caught the rest... thats 6 all together and when we raked the nest out there must have been 2 dozen strawberries in it! Greedy buggers....
We have traps the same as you are using and they get the intruders every time
Maybe our mice are heavier

EEEEUUUUWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!
Am I the only person that didn't enjoy watching an animal desperately scrabbling in it's last few seconds of life?
I'm not usually considered a sissy by the people I meet, but I think you ought to put a note on here or the Youtube vid, that the trap does
eventually snap closed, then it would be up to people to watch it, or watch to the end - in case "you're" wondering why I watched it at
all, well it's just because I'm immensely insomniac-ic tonight, so using any means of occupying my time...
Anyway, hope I haven't offended, it's just that I believe some things shouldn't be watched for amusement in my humble opinion...

Was the safety on?
I think that video was tasteless and totally out of order
Good point, not seen the vid so won't comment but I'm not keen on the evil cow that is our cat playing with mice while they're cacking it for their lives. Even worse is when I'm trying to keep my son away, it was getting disturbing the way he was going "rabbit, aww rabbit" even after its head got ripped off...

poor little mouse
I watched it first time and didn't watch to the end. I thought it was a nice video about cheeky mice that were too tiny for your trap. Just
watched it again to see what the fuss was and I wish I hadn't.
I squash bigger spiders because they scare the crap out of me and it probably makes me hypocritical, but watching the mouse struggle has turned me
right against spring traps. I always assumed they were killed instantly.
In that, I suppose the video has served a purpose, but I'm not sure it's the best way to go about educating people to the cruelty of spring
traps.
I wish I hadn't watch it too.
I did catch a mouse at my work last week using this method: humane mouse trap
I set it up before leaving work for the day. I used the toilet roll, peanut butter and an office waste paper bin. The mouse was in the bin the next
morning hiding inside the roll.
I let him go outside.
