Mouse wedged in my gate - now what?

[2Driver]

Crap! I can't figure how he is coming out of here as he can't go up or back down. He is trying but it's not happening.

That looks much bigger than a mouse!!! Personally, I'd put a bunch of firecrackers in there with him to motivate him... :D :D :D

[OutCole'd]

Drop one of those snakes down from the top??

[superdave013]

can you put a rope down there for him to climb up? I'd try to help him out because that RAT will stink big time when he dies.

[NastyOne]

Cap the bottom and fill the top with water.
Hopefully he can swim....:sqeyes:

Very similar to my plan of pouring gas down the top and then throwing a match at the little guy.

[2Driver]

The gate get's the afternoon sun. He's got less than 6 hours to figure it out.

[phebus]

Just cut his feet off, and he will drop down a little bit. Then chop off his knees, and he will drop further. Repeat process until he is out. :D

[Jordy]

Similar, yet very different. Pouring gas down the top and throwing a match will only result in a tube of fiery death that he'd have to crawl up through to escape, thereby negating any desire he would have to escape. The firecracker method would motivate him to get his ass out of the tube. You could also modify your gasoline method to just pour some on the ground around his feet and tail and achieve the same type of motivational push. :D :D :D

[Froggystyle]

I think it is a baby Possum, and too stupid to know it is stuck personally...
Shop Vac seems like the plan of the day though. Have the pellet rifle ready.
If anyone has any questions regarding "roof rats" or the mitigation thereof, feel free to ask any questions you may have. I am now an expert.
BTW, if fed on Nutro "Senior Formula" dog food for several months, the aforementioned roof rats can and will exceed the maximum size listed on the internet by as much as 50%. I have seen smaller dogs...

Maybe get Matt Foley, motivational speaker up there to fire him up!

It looks too big for a mouse. Looks like maybe a baby opossum by the looks of those toes...Check out picture. He needs help:idea:

[Froggystyle]

I like putting the string down there idea. Since the bolts are in the way, you can't vacuum it easily, so put down a cord for it to climb. Then, ready the pellet rifle. ;)

[460 jus getn it]

That sucks.

[Jordy]

Maybe get Matt Foley, motivational speaker up there to fire him up!
Yeah, you're gonna need some motivational speaking when you end up with a baby opossum stuck in your shop vac!!! :D :D :D
On an unrelated note, another method to try involves sealing off the bottom of the tube and then using a small amount of gun powder to turn the gate tube into a opossum cannon!!! :D :D :D
jordy <----just full of good ideas today!!! :)

[2Driver]

Take a stick and smash him from above. Then put some super glue on the stick to fish him out...
Maybe a cap on the post next time...:D
The rail is only 1" in diameter. I tried shooting my BB gun down from the top then, when the BB came back out at 60 MPH I realized - duh - the rail is through bolted in 5 places blocking direct access.
SO far Phebus may have the best idea. now where's my buck knife? :)

Stuffed Roast Opossum
Recipe #1079691 rating
"Not tried this one yet"!It came from... Cooking for American Homemakers(Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook..1910,from the 1948 copy(If you con get one of these cook books get it it has a lot of wierd but good recipes in it)
10 servings 4½ hours 3 hours prep
1 opossum
1 cup salt
Opossum Stuffing
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon fat
opossum liver (optional)
1 cup breadcrumbs
chopped red peppers
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped fine
salt, to taste
Not the one? See other Stuffed Roast Opossum Recipes
(Roast Opossum).
The opossum is a very fat animal with a peculiarly flavored meat.
It is dressed much as one would dress a suckling pig,removing the entrails,and if desired,the head and tail.
After it is dressed,wash thoroughly inside and out with hot water.
Cover with cold water to which has been added 1 cup of salt.
Allow to stand overnight;in morning,drain off the salted water and rince well with clear boiling.
Stuff opossum with opossum stuffing (stuffing recipes next);sew opening or fasten with skewers.
Place in roaster,add 2 tablespoons water and roast in moderate oven (350-f.) until tender and richly browned,about one and one half hours.
Bast every 15 minutes with drippings.
Remove skewers or stitches,and place on heated platter.
Skim fat from gravy remaining in pan.
---(Opossum Stuffing)-Brown onion in fat.
Add finely chopped opossum liver and cook until liver is tender.
Add crumbs,a little red pepper,worcestershire sauce,egg,salt and water to moisten.
It's reassuring to know that there is more than one way to cook a roasted stuffed opossum, that is, if this isn't the way you're really looking for. :idea: :jawdrop:

Well, put it this way... When I was a firefighter we used to get calls all the time from people who had cats up in trees. My LT would say the same thing to all of them... "You ever see any dead cats in trees?" The answer is obviously "no", because they climb down on their own. I suspect that if you give that little bugger a rope to climb, he will be Audi 5000 pretty quickly if left alone.

I guess it could relate to this... but I was thinking about velocity instead of gravity when you first mentioned science...
As if discovering Calculus and the three laws of motion wasn't enough! This new discovery was the law of gravitation. It states that whenever we have two particles, with masses m1 and m2 respectively, and which are located at two points with a distance r in between, there is a force on each of the particles in the direction of the other (thus they are attracted), and whose intensity is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to r squared. In math notation, magnitude of F = Gm1m2/r2, where G is a constant (the gravitational constant): its numerical value, of course, depends on the units of measurement that we choose.

Did I ever tell you I can think in 5 dimensions? We live in a 4D world, not 3D. Time is a 4th dimension that crosses all other dimensions at a right angle. I can visualize a 5th dimension that is at right angles to all other dimensions, including time. The 5th dimension is the dimension of potentiality. Potentiality of energy is not subject to a forward moving universe and therefore can cross time at right angles in the future and in the past. It is this world of potential where the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics are no longer in conflict of each other, very similar to string theory in that in the potential world, everything is entangled. Observation by the classic world is what changes the potential world in both the future and the past.

It got in... that's all I'm saying... It managed to get from the top down somehow, or scurried in the bottom.
If it got in from the bottom, with the lube it will be out in an hour.

[2Driver]

The lube was enough that I could get him out without pulling him a part. ( that doesnt sound right :eek: ) Anyway, he actully ran off when I let him go. Mrs Mouse is going to be pissed when he walks in all covered in KY. :D

Great job Mark!

[al cole'holic]

Just cut his feet off, and he will drop down a little bit. Then chop off his knees, and he will drop further. Repeat process until he is out. :D

Liquid Nitrogen would have been fun to try.
My neighbor used to work in a plant that manufactured the stuff. He said they used to catch mice, dip them, drop them on the floor, and count the pieces.
Apparently a frozen mouse shatters into very small pieces!:(

[AZJD]

WOW! I was expecting to come home to a dismantled mouse. Good job!
I am blown away by this thread! What a feel good thread for today.:D

Quick, lock up the women and children, there is a horny little rodent running loose greased up on KY!!

I think we should land around 11 or before. First distance flight with our 6 year old son other than a quick sight seeing flight but he is pretty resilient. I'll take your cell and PM you mine should we be on time.

[Dons_donzi]

so was that one of them Kangaroo Rats...?
"so these three strings walk into a bar...."
ahhh... and i thought that joke would never make it...

Well if you combine, HB posting, the mouse extraction and dropping off the dirt bikes at the dealer it was pretty packed. :D :D
yeah it was a Kangaroo mouse - pretty sure

He is pretty slippery right now so he may have a chance. :D
This week was pretty gruesome up here. I took out 2 scorpions, 1 black widow and 2 Rattlesnakes . That's why I had a soft place in my heart for "Mr. Gates" the mouse ...it happens occasionally :)

So, will we now refer to Paris Hilton as Ms Gates? Are you going to block off the opening after Paris gets free?:D

[BarryMac]

That might take care of two problems with one mouse, rattler eats "slippery" mouse, mouse flies through rattler with super force creating one helluv an explosion through the rectum of the snake blowing it into pieces. Kind of the killing two birds with on stone theory... :D :D

[hoolign]

I think that mouses day was far from over! Once he got home covered in KY jelly his mouse bitch would have kicked the shit right outta him!and once more after for his explanation! :D

[BadKachina]

Is this is all some kind of elaborate scheme to post pictures of your mouse covered in KY jelly?????? Richard Gere comes to mind........:idea:

[lewiville]

oh brother, let the little shit die. when he dry's up, the bones will come down and sweep them away :idea:

Ummm.... I am going to go ahead and drop a couple of conflicting quotes here... ;)
...I tried shooting my BB gun down from the top then, when the BB came back out at 60 MPH I realized - duh - the rail is through bolted in 5 places blocking direct access.
SO far Phebus may have the best idea. now where's my buck knife? :)
.I have my needle nose pliers, pen knife and am going in. Wes, cover me. :D
Funny how needle nose pliers clamped to your tail will wake up a guy.

[AZJD]

So did my Parker 425 dvd work for you?

Translation... the wife was standing over me and would not let me kill it :D

That, and the fact that you couldn't come up with a good way to do more than just maim him... Those bolts in the tube got the best of ya huh??? :D :D :D

[2Driver]

When I pulled him out of the gate rail he looked up at me like " holy crap, thanks man" and in that moment we connected. :D :D

[Jordy]

in that moment we connected. :D :D
So you and your KY Jelly covered rodent had a moment??? :jawdrop: :eek: :confused: :idea: :D

I am probably the only one concerned with the lack of consistent spacing of your zip ties on the gate, huh?
If I ever make it to your house... I am fixing that... ;)

You'd really only need to do that if the gate was painted orange... and as you can see, it's more of a red/brown than anything... :D
