I noticed that mice had been eating various stores of food in my flat. To remedy the situation, I got into my car and purchased several traps that were designed to capture them unharmed. I also bought a cage to control their ramblings through my food where they could possibly defecate.
After several days, I caught three and that seemed to be the total population.
I placed the cage next to my ant farm in my bedroom. I provided them a healthy diet of protein and carbohydrates through the winter months. In May, when it would be easier for them to forage for themselves, I released them some distance from human habitation which could prove dangerous if they sought food in the homes of barbarians.
I bid my friends good bye one sunny spring morning and my tenious attachment to them drew and deep and profound sadness from the depths of the universe.
When I returned, I stored their cage in a storage closet in anticipation of the next visit from their untamed cousins.
