We knew that there was a small mouse population in our house after seeing mice and
trapping them in the garage, the kitchen and the living room. So we hoped that we'd find the holes where they were entering the house when the cladding was stripped off and then we could block them up. We didn't quite expect to find ancient nests inside the walls.
We know that this nest must pre-date us as we don't recognise the fabric that they've used for a carpet.
We found this little mouse graveyard in one of the kitchen walls.
The skulls are fascinating - check out the front fangs and the tiny molars.
And you can see each plate in the skull too.
No wonder mice can get through such small spaces.
