Mouse filmed tidying up man's shed every night

[oldbrownhat]

I could SO use a few of these in my basement! (Although my cat would no doubt have other ideas.)

BBC video article here.

"..."Ninety nine times out of 100 the mouse will tidy up throughout the night."It is incredible really that they put them all back in the box, I think it's possible that they enjoy it."

Mr Holbrook believes the mouse is using the objects to hide away nuts, and so far the arrangement has been working in his favour.

"I don't bother to tidy up now, I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning," he said.

"I think he would tidy my wife away if I left her in there."
​

(The BBC apparently did not solicit any comment from his wife, however)

The mouse places all the bits and bobs back into a pot on the workbench​

Nesting behavior.

Mice are curious little rodents .


If you have a mouse problem you get set traps with little cotton balls or other such things (they don't like cheese!)
