Question Found a drenched mouse in my garden?
I've brought it in, wrapped it up & put it somewhere warm.

Question is what do they eat?

depends which kind of mouse. It it is a shrew, brown with a long nose, they eat more or less continuously and will soon die if they are without food. They like worms.

It's just a brown mouse Les, I've given it some out of date cashew nuts (unsalted).

Kill it, or take it to a field way away from your house. Otherwise, it it escapes and gets within your cavity walls, you'll have loads of the little ******* eating through your house.

Well, it could be a female mouse, and pregnant.

If it is a male, it could attract a female mouse, **** like Mice, and have many babies.

I'll definitely be taking it far away from the house, mainly so that psycho the cat won't get at it
