An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Time to get a snake.
For the record, I fucking hate mice. Mice in the camper, mice in the truck headliners, mice in the barn, mice in the crawlspace, mice everywhere they can poke their dirty shit and piss asses so you find them in the spring by the stink.
Fuck mice.
Get them at least a basic peep from a vet. A bit of something to minimise parasites should be a bare minimum to have them around your younglings. You don't want to come home and find your daughters running their butts across the carpet, now do you.
Oh so we're really doing hantavirus this season
So hot right now.
Because of the fever.
I wrote a whole comment about Hantavirus with a /s, then rewrote it...
Wild mice carry diseases. Switch them out for some bread ones. And no, I dont mean the food. Or do I?
If you don't actually want doughy mice, (mmmmm, yum), then the word you're looking for is bred.
Thank you!
We have a cat that bring in mice and releases them inside all the time, I don't think a few extra will increase our risk profile too much..?
The risk is from their shit which gets airborne or rubbed in crevices. Each mouse increases threat.
...wild mice? What a horrible idea. Why wouldn't you get domesticated, bred mice? Are you trying to bring sickness to your house because this is how you do it.
I'm with your wife on this one.
Ditto
Jokes on you—I’m with your wife on this one.
I see you're aware of possible risks, so I'm just here to hope at least one of them is male, and you've named him Mister Jingles
Feces. Feces are baby mice. Aww.
um..?
Donnie Darko reference.
must re-watch that, have on my NAS
We also have mice, thanks to our Puss who keeps bringing them in to play. Actually, I think we're currently mouse-free after I ejected yesterday's offering.
We have at least one living inside thanks to our cats. Last Saturday she brought in 3 in about 1/2 an hour. The older cat (at 16 y/o) just eats them if he can still manage to catch them; in his prime he brought in rats/rabbits/ducks.
It's Autumn here in the southern hemisphere, so there are an abundance of mice is our semi-rural setting
in the words of shaggy "It wasn't me"
I had typed out a whole Hantavirus /s comment ;)
dude
bruh, even
What a depressing comment section - just as expected.
I fully support your decision OP. Mice are awesome. I've got some on my attic that I choose to co-exist with as I don't have the hear to trap them. This is the kind of story your kids will remember for the rest of their lives.
