House mice likely carry diseases and are wild, so they may bite. If you are squeamish of killing them, I would let them out back in the wild, away from your home. There is a reason people buy clean, bred, tame mice at a pet store.

yer whoever wrote that ^^^ may be right but i have 1 (at least i think so) in my attic. I will NOT kill it or let it back out in the wild. Its too cold to let it go and it has chosen my house. That makes my house special. Anyway i am going to try and cartch it tonight. I am using my hamsters carry case to put it in for now and i am NOT taking it to thr RSPCA coz they will soon kill it. I am unsurw what to do. That is why im looking for answers over the internet. I maight keep it in a spare hamster cage until it gets a bit warmer. I would not like to see the poor creature die nor would i like to be responcible for its death and so i think you should find a way of letting it live without it being in your way! Hope i helped xx :)
