According to the attached link, mice eat grain.
And according to the attached link, to keep the
proper balance of things, you should probably
consider eating the mice (where there's one mouse, there's
several more
lerking).http://www.lme.mankato.msus.edu/ci/June/Why.html
If that doesn't seem to suit you, here's what i suggest:
contact microsoft and inquire of the following:
1) Do you have any reports of a missing mouse
2) Do mice eat crickets
3) Is there any software that isn't made by microsoft
4) If so, where can I buy it
5) What can I do about crickets and mice in my ceiling
If you are able to get a respone to questions 3 and 4,
please be sure to post they're reply, we'd all be
interested.
You're right, this is a fun one.
