Mice and Rats

The smaller mouse and the medium-sized rat are adaptable members of the numerous, successful order of rodents. Diabetics owe breakthrough knowledge in the disease's control and prevention to laboratory experiments with the Zucker rat. Contributions typically raise questions about the mouse's and the rat's alternating roles as pests and pets, disease carrying capabilities, geographic ranges, representations in popular culture, survival threats, and troubled interactions with people.

How do you train a ferret for rodent control?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ferret is a carnivorous (meat eating) mammal of genus Mustela of the Mustelidae family including the domestic ferret and an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. For hundreds of years, the main use of domestic ferrets was for hunting called "ferreting". Ferrets have a long, lean body, with an inquisitive nature, that makes them very well equipped for getting down holes and chasing rodents and rabbits out of their burrows and nests.

For centuries ferrets have been used for rodent, mice and rat extermination and control. Ferrets have a natural instinct to hunt and kill rodents. One time I had a baby rat trapped and showed to my ferret, she immediately grabbed by the back of the neck and killed it in one bite.

  • Just read an account in Farm Show mag where someone as a kid on a farm kept ferrets for rats and rabbits. The description was that his father showed them the animal holes at about 5 mo of age, and most took right to it. He said gentle seeming ferrets would change when going to hunt, that they were sent in pairs, and he kept them in practice out of rabbit season with rats and mice. The rabbits they would flush out and shoot, they seemed to do that with rats outdoors as well, but they seemed able to kill rats, and chase them into holes, especially the smaller females.

Can dogs or cats get secondary poisoning from eating Dcon poisoned rats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know about dogs but a cat that is exposed to even a small amout of rat poison can later develop kidney disease or kidney failure, both of which are fatal. It happened to one of my cats and it was heartbreaking. I did keep her going and comfortable longer by giving her sub-q fluids every day. It isn't hard to learn how to do and it keeps them hydrated. Bring them to a vet asap!

A mice gestates for 21-22 days. By then you should see a significant growth in the stomach (swallowed a golf ball look or pear shaped).

Do rats live in deserts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Kangaroo rats live in deserts. Kangaroo rats are native to North America. They are rodents, not marsupials like their Australian namesake. They can be found in the arid and semi-arid areas of North America, specifically, Canada, the United States and Mexico, as long as there is some grass or other vegetation. They dig burrows to shelter themselves from the heat of their environment.

How do you prevent diseases carried by mosquitoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best way to reduce mosquito populations is by eliminating their breeding grounds, which can be any pool of standing water larger than a few square centimeters where they can lay their eggs. Standing water should be drained or treated. This includes places such as under flowerpots, in umbrella holders, outdoor privies, old tires or fish tanks, and drainage areas from air conditioning systems. Small ponds or swampy areas should be treated to prevent mosquitoes eggs from being laid or hatched.

Salami or hot dog soaked in Anti freeze over 5 hours. place bait on trap and scattered around, make sure to count how many you place on your perimeter, if any of the bait are missing you've killed the rat plane and simple, anti freeze is VERY sweet, I've placed a bowl with hot dogs and anti freeze and in the morning i found 1 raccoon and 3 rats dead in my barn. i'd say cheepest method imo.

How do you tame a baby mouse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

first part is making it get used to your hand, just lay your hand in the container, and place a piece of cheese in the center of your palm, take out any other sources of food from the container, and be patient, after a little bit the mouse will get hungry, and your hand will not have made any sudden movements, so it will crawl onto your hand, (DO NOT TRY TO HOLD THE MOUSE, this could scar it and cause it to not trust you, after you have gotten the mouse in your palm, wiggle your hand a bit, it will most likely jump back, if it does, keep your had still, and when it gets back on your hand, wiggle your hand again, wiggling your hand will help your mouse get used to your hand moving around him/her. Then start holding cheese in your fingers out to the baby mouse, and then wait for it to nibble at the cheese your holding, also you could make like a play pen, like take a baby doll crib, or a real crib and let the mouse run around in it, and to transport him you could first put him in a cup and move him to the play pen for 15 minutes or so, and then move to your hand under a glass cup, then to your hand. the key is PATIENCE.

Do cats eat the mouse family?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes I am pretty sure they catch mice for fun if they are domestic cats unless you don't feed them enough, then they might hunt so feed them at least two times a day a can of cat food or special cat tuna. Not human tuna it can kill them. Milk might make them throw up you can try feeding them it but if it throws up stick to water hope this helped:) Maybe you should talk to the vet about that though.

Sometimes cats eat mice for fun, other times if they are barn cats or cats that have been rescued from being feral for some time, they will catch them out of instinct and either eat them or give them to you as a present. If they do that, btw, don't make a big fuss out of it, they are just being cats, just take the mouse outside and bury it. You may even want to praise the cat a little for it's kindness in sharing its meals with you.
