Of course they are adorable but I would still scream if there is a chance it jumps on me :) Just think - a mouse got loose while riding in a car! 100% it would hide and make the car unridable for the family
Its fascinating how they can go up on different surfaces and how quick they are.

Oh yes, they got those little hands and feet and use them so well! I've seen my pets doing some incredible acrobatic stuff... Usually to reach food lol

I am concerned for my guys. Its been raining really bad for a long time and the heavy shower won't stop in the near future.

Your heart is in the right place, Chipper :)

its lonely without them in garage. No welcoming sounds coming out of the waste basket LOL
There is a very wet wild bunny sitting under my tree. I feel bad for all of them. Tried to feed him but he got spooked.
Rain stopped but everything is still very very wet.

I used to keep mice myself as a kid. Hoping I'd get a snake one day, so I'd have the food handy... :D

Don't worry, heavy rains are a normal part of life for wild animals so they should be equipped to deal with it. And if they can't, it's nature's way of sorting out the animals who are smart enough to survive from the ones who aren't. It actually helps keep the species strong.

my husband said that while he was sitting in my car today (he was trying to fix remote control key), he heard a sound like a mouse was in the car. I can tell for sure that not a single mouse escaped from the bucket during transportation so it would be a mouse that entered from outside (if there is one)
Any suggestions?

Another bad thing is that today my husband said that he saw a possum by the house when he arrived at about 10pm. We never ever had a problem with serious predators, the worst were cats. I don't underestimate danger of cats but they at least are fed at their homes, so their interest in my rabbits is more of a playing manner. Possum is a different story. I have so much wildlife here - birds, wild rabbits, that I definitely don't want any possums to be hunting here (of course my own rabbits are my main concern). Just an hour ago, a small wild rabbit was sitting under my tree. I will keep watching the territory tomorrow, but this is sad news.

I envy you deeply, Chipper. I declare it without shame!!!
You live surrounded by nature, and that is my ultimate dream.

I'm sorry about the possums, I'd be worried to death! Is there any way to keep them away from your property and surroundings? What is it that makes them come so close to homes? The mouse problem pales compared to this.

we haven't had a problem with a serious predator for years. Plus, I haven't seen it myself.
There is a dead opossum run over on the street not far from us. Maybe that one? (YOU see, I am not surrounded by nature that much LOL)
Anyway, I am monitoring for him closely (today my daughter's school bus was late, she wanted me to drive her but I told her I was busy - I was on the watchout LOL just kidding - I drove her finally)

NO sign of opossum's presence so far. Only wild bunnies. I wonder if opossum would run after wild bunny to kill. I guess not
