Rabbits and mice

Hi everyone!

Are mice an issue around rabbits?! We’ve got a mouse (I call him Pete) who comes and snacks on the bits of bird seed underneath the feeder. He’s very bold and will come out and explore even when I’m a metre away. Harrison and he pretty much ignore each other so far.

Thanks,

Jo

Mice are vectors of certain diseases including EC so I would try to relocate Pete if possible.

Just saw a wee mouse running along my path,mooches peanuts in the shell I put out for the squirrels.

So cute! I adore mice and rats. Me and my mom were just discussing the other day how we don't ever see any mice.

Yeah as Jane said things like EC is possible.

Tbh though I wonder how many people let their rabbits out to play and don't realize the nighttime visitors they have. Just a thought.

I mean, I know I have a variety of daytime and nighttime visitors of many different species of animals and I'm sure they all could carry something. Even robins etc can.

Not sure what the solution to that is, besides just having an aviary with a roof for rabbits.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any way of relocating Pete, he’s just visiting my patio occasionally from his home in the wilderness the other side of the fence.

Hmmm. Tricky.
