Fake mouse droppings?
I have found some mouse droppings but I do not think that they are real. I found lots of mouse droppings on a work surface/hobs but only once - and have not found any more mouse droppings for weeks.
If there was a real mouse, I would expect that there to be just a few droppings if the mouse only visited once.
One of the droppings I find is a three droppings stuck together lengthwise. I am wondering if a real mouse would do this? I've looked at all the pictures of mouse poo I can find on the internet and cannot find the same type of poo.
Are there are chemical tests that I could make to verify whether or not the mouse poo is real? E.g. are there any science tests one can make to verify whether a substance is artificial or biological?

This is really a first post - I've seen previous posts on this forum about real mouse droppings so I thought this might be a good place to find mouse dropping expertise!
An interesting idea - however I think mouse droppings contain dangerous bacteria - so I would have to fry it first
Any more ideas on how to prove that the droppings are not real?

I'd wait for some scientist or some laboratory tester to join in this thread. Be patient meanwhile. Pick those mouse sh!tz with your wife's tweezers (clean the tweezers with anti-bacterial handwash first) and keep them in a clean plastic bottle. Then just wait for some response here.

We do have some scientists here. Some of them profoundly discuss evolution and the living organism composition in the context of their anti-God views. Mouse and their droppings are seen for real, unlike God. So, they (scientists; not the mice) may enlighten you with their knowledge. You can try litmus paper to figure out the acidity. But then again, don't take it as a gospel as litmus paper might explode. I'd wait for some scientist or some laboratory tester to join in this thread. Be patient meanwhile. Pick those mouse sh!tz with your wife's tweezers (clean the tweezers with anti-bactarial handwash first) and keep them in a clean plastic bottle. Then just wait for some response here.

Why would anybody put fake mouse droppings around your house? And secondly, why would you go to the effort of sending them away to be chemically tested when you could just call an exterminator in to get rid of mice/rats and be cheaper.

option 1 ... someone snuck into your house and left fake mouse poo in your kitchen
option 2 ... you have mice in your kitchen
I bet if you pull out some appliances and check under and behind cabinets you'll find more "fake" mouse poo

An exterminator cannot catch a non-existent mouse!
Some women keep mice as pets and they are not actually terrified of them. No owned mice have access to the building. If someone had put a real mouse there, would the mouse hang around in the kitchen or just run?

When I moved into my current house 15 years ago, I found little footprints of the mouse across my storeroom. I looked for the little **** and for the signs of its drop-ins everywhere, but couldn't find anything. We had a cat, so we knew that she'd total it. Then our washing machine broke. We found loads of mouse droppings in the back panel of our washing machine (well away from the drum), and jogged our memories back to the time when we did spot a dead mouse in our old cat's mouth. We saw that barbaric scene in our garden, so we thought it was a garden mouse. Its possible that the mouse was the mouse who lived in the back of our washing machine. It all happened in the first 6 months of living here in our current house. There has been no trace of a mouse anywhere inside since then. It was just a one off. Now we have not just the one but two cats to keep them away.

I've had a look and the fake droppings man was quite dedicated. He put droppings behind the washing machine, fridge, etc. However he also left a piece of poo on a wall (an acrobatic mouse?)! Droppings were also placed on worktops but were not placed inside cupboards, on top of the washing machine - the mouse was not interested in food cupboards.
How do mouse acrobatics work? How would a mouse find its way from the floor to on top of the worktops? Cats can make big jumps like that - but I've never heard of a mouse leaping 3 feet in the air!

One rodent attracts more rodents (even if they're not very nice to one another).

Thank you for your comment about the mouse.
The police are aware of what is going on. Please could you contact the police and let them know what you know about the matter including who told you about the Coventry mouse. You can call 101 if you are within the UK or use the crimestoppers website if you would like to remain anonymouse :-).
Thank you!
