Last night at 1am I couldn’t sleep, because of a fluttering sound in my ceiling ( I have drop a ceiling). It sounded like a bird was trapped in there and fluttering back and forth. I finally popped out one of the squares and looked around in the ceiling with a flashlight. No bird.
I couldn’t get the square back in place, properly and I just decided to deal with it tomorrow.
I tried to go back to sleep, then around 2am, a cute little baby mouse dropped from the ceiling and landed on my pillow, right beside my head, and startled the ■■■■ out of me.
Took me forever to catch it and put it outside. Then I had to put my bedding in the wash.
Long story short, I’m tired as hell today. What a night…

That’s kind of sad. If it was a baby, it might not survive out in the wild on it’s own. But you did what you had to do I guess.
Geez I would freak out. 
It looks like a rat you know?

Yeah, you’re right. 
I just assumed it was a baby, because it’s tail was so short. I don’t know all that much about mice.
The thought of keeping him surprisingly never crossed my mind. I was just thinking he would have died if I didn’t get him out of the ceiling.

Definitely not a rat. I live in a rat-free province. Also I used to raise them when I lived in Saskatchewan, so I know one when I see one.

Maybe you should get a cat. Would do all the work for you.

I actually tried to, but I live in my brother’s house and he won’t let me.
I will be setting traps in the ceiling, though (humane ones, of course).

Maybe it was a vole. They have shorter tails.

Looks like a big mouse. I’d move out. I can’t handle knowing little mice are running around my house.

You did what I would have done. Poor mouse, I’m sure he’ll be ok.
Ugh! Mice!
That would definitely freak me out!
I would move out somewhere!

That definitely looks like it. So cute!
Yes, I think so. I’m getting some humane traps, today.
The rest of my household is freaking out.
You could get an ultrasonic mouse repeller. I’ve used them before, and never had a problem with mice afterwards.

Sounds frightening, but I will look into it. Thanks

It does look a bit like a vole. It’s head is quite round/fat for a mouse.
We used the humane mouse trap once.
We caught him and then set him free in a field.
And i’m not ■■■■■■■ kidding here as soon as we let him go a hawk came down and grabbed him and ripped him apart.
I don’t know what’s worse, the inhumane traps or nature. Because dude this freaking hawk ripped him apart realllllyyyy slowly.
Sorry mouse, did what we could? Wasn’t worth much.
