- dimitar 15y agoI think he meant that the mouse was eaten by a rat. Rats are much bigger and hunt, kill and eat the similar but smaller mice. In fact there is a term for it: muricide. Rats also practice infanticide. So, yeah rodent morality is also complex.
- duck 15y agoNo, it was just another mouse. My original comment wasn't very clear, but I saw it running away when I came to check on the trap. My wife thought that was really gross, but then I reminded her of the time that we saw a seagull eating another smaller seagull while it was still alive and still walking. That topped everything I've seen.
- wooster 15y agoA brief bit of Googling suggests mice commonly eat other dead mice.
