Bit of a random one for you all. Just discovered a family of baby mice living in the garage at work. Due to various health and safety issues I won't go into they can't stay. However I am a soft touch and don't want to go down the poison route. They are too little to fend for themselves yet. Any ideas what I could do with them? Would an animal charity be likely to take them in or is there a good way to rehome them without causing too much upset?

I doubt that an animal charity would take them but there'd be no harm in asking one - don't bother with the RSPCA, they're useless. The only thing I can suggest is if you can trap them in a humane trap - over ripe banana is good bait - then you could relocate them to a hedgerow in a field somewhere and keep your fingers crossed that they survive.

If they are too young to fend for themselves you need to catch the parent as well otherwise they won't survive.

I spoke to an animal charity. They said not to move them because they'll die. They did suggest that if I disturb the garage a lot by moving things around, mum mouse might decide it's unsafe and move the family out. Will monitor over the next couple of days. They've not moved out i'll get a humane trap for them and sort something out

Don't get one of those sonic sound things. It will drive them under ground.

If you like animals at your place of work get a cat. They make much better pets than mice...
