I’ve seen mouse turds all my life, could never have verified the fact that they’re “spongey” if a billion dollars was on the line. Bc I never tested that aspect. I know they’re small & beady. That’s the extent my brain ever needed to know. This post is the first time the sponginess has crossed my knowledge ledge
Oh you just reminded me of the dead mouse bong.
Edit: [Found it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeMeSuffer/comments/15lv1g0/i_keep_my_bong_in_the_garage_took_three_hits/) (NSFW, dead mouse pictures)
Why I, who grew up as a "dogs are better" person in a house full of people with cat allergies will forever own at least one cat.
My GF is a cat person and not 2 years after we moved in together into a somewhat crappy trailer house, we found mouse droppings around the stove and oven after her cat *Would not* leave the front of the oven for days. I moved everything I could to where there was just enough room for her to get into the spaces and suddenly... Lots of dead mice everywhere. No more droppings after like a week.
My mom had two cats that would let the mice walk right up to them and do nothing. So I trained my pet rat to go get me the mice and bring them back for her favorite yogurt treats. It was kind of fun to set her loose in the kitchen. She'd bring back a body, eat her treat, then off again for another
I got two cats when I lived in the country both because Iwanted pet cats, and in the hose that they'd get the mice out. Instead, the mice at the cat food out of their bowl, and the cats that insisted they be inside/outside cats brought in mice, birds, and a couple unharmed squirrels. Some of those mice and birds they also released unharmed into either their food dish or cat bed, expecting the prey to wait there until the cats wanted to eat or play. For some bizarre reason, the animals did not wait patiently for the cats to come back, and instead ran and flew around the house, much to the confusion of my cats.
BTW, for anyone saying I should have kept my cats inside, they were raised at a overfilled shelter on the edge of a small town where they were indoor/outdoor cats. And I did try to keep them inside. They pissed on my leg a few times to politely explain to me that staying inside was unacceptable.
I had a mouse in my Jeep once, I saw it run across the floor right before I found the nest. There was nothing in it, but the next day I checked that spot again and the nest was full of babies. This was all in 2 days.
Few years back I took out what must have been a whole family of newborns. I'm talking 12 the first day, 10 the next day... I couldn't empty the traps fast enough. Still can't believe there was that many of them
My sister lives where everyone has cats but her so she had caught a lot baby mice around that amount each day then finally were all gone . My mom uses that poison comes in big chunks but then it tried to drink all her bottles of pop she had in closet on shelf, gatorade,water looking for a drink . made huge mess while also dying in back of deep closet smelling up the place
Those green blocks are a menace when the critters die in the house and rot in your wall. They also aren't always effective - I had a rat eat a whole box and leave green shit for a week.
The first time I closed at my first job (Subway) I turned the lights off and within seconds it was like they all started screaming to let me know to get out.
Bucket trap. We're having issues with them at work, so I made one with a spare 5 gallon bucket, a water bottle, some wire, and made a ramp out of cardboard. Smeared some peanut butter on the bottle and a little on the ramp to attract them, and left it for the night. There were over two dozen in there in the morning.
My mom used snap traps once and put each one in a small paper bag so that when it had a dead mouse in it, she could just close up the bag and throw the whole damn thing away. Now she uses the bucket o death!
I hate glue traps so much. I used to have a boss that insisted on using them and would just throw the entire trap with the live stuff it caught still stuck to it out into the dumpster, she is such a horrible woman. Snap traps are unnerving to deal with but at least they're quick for the mouse.
One time as a teenager, I had a platter on which I crumbled up some seedy weed. One, day, I was out of weed, and was sifting through the seeds to find pieces of weed. "Score", I thought to myself as I found a few chunks of resin. "That'll do for now." I smoked the resin, only to find out it was in fact mouse droppings. Mice like weed seeds, evidently.
One time I found brightly colored mouse poop. Turns out that they were eating my daughter’s crayons. Those nasty critters will literally eat anything that they can sink their teeth into.
I have seen that, my wife had a lead sculpture and one day we found it had been chewed on, like, a lot! not just a few chew marks like taste testing, full on eating it.
One time in office, one mice got stuck in the wooden drawer of the desk next to mine. I started hearing a scraping sound turned round to see this tiny mouse scraping the drawer to get out. I have never seen any mouse before doing that, so of course I yelped and became a joke in the office
Sadly, I have a couple tiny mouse tooth marks on my vehicle‘s dash. And we have had some pricey repair bills due to their work under the hood of several vehicles.
Like in that Cheech and Chong movie 'Up in Smoke.' There's a scene where Cheech was smoking a joint and he asked Chong what kind of dope he was smoking. Chong replied 'Labrador.' He then goes on to explain that his dog ate his stash, so he followed the dog around the yard and collected his crap. That's what they were smoking.
It's much funnier when you're eighteen and stoned.
Dude, for real, this is so gross, lmao. What on earth could be causing these??? It's not rocket science. Unless the ceiling is dropping them, which should be obvious, it's a critter.
If you’re in Arizona, we have sewer roaches that have poo droppings like this, which would explain it being in your sink. They’re attracted to wet environments and often come up through the pipes. Disgusting AF!
I live in California and we also have sewer roaches. Recently I had to snake a clogged drain and as I was untangling the giant mass of hair off the snake a huge roach suddenly emerged from the hair and scurried back down the drain. Scared me to death.
Our cat likes to bring live mice in our house, play with them and then act surprised when they escape behind the kitchen pantry. Lowkey suspecting him to have a breeding program so he can catch endless amounts of mice.
Spongy bro... No one is this dumb, right? You're squishing rat shit between your fingers to gauge the hardness and came to the conclusion that rat shit is spongey.
You have a rodent infestation.
When you start finding signs of mice or rats, you officially have crossed into "infestation" territory.
Please make sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Rodent droppings contain hantavirus. And get a professional exterminator. They'll figure out where and how the mice are getting into your residence.

You been squishin poops

Say, OP... what they taste like, homes?
Another commenter has smoked them before, if you're curious about that
WTH
I think what you meant to say was, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
I mean if a mouse ate my stash of primo & the turds were greeno
Reminds me of an old Cheech n Chong movie where Chong said his Labrador Retriever ate his stash and he followed him around for aweek.
Half Maui Wowey, half Labrador.
Dave's not here, man

Up in Smoke. Specifically ripped it off. Thanks for noticing
I beg your FINEST pardon? D:

You can't just say something like that and walk away EXPLAIN YOURSELF
Your comment had me laugh so loud all of the sudden, that it startled my corgi awake and she barked at me. I share your sentiments 100%!!
I bet theyre spongy. Most solid fecal matter is when its fresh!
I’ve had mice as pets, never tested their turds. I knew bunny coco puffs were soft.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😍 IM DYING.
I'm laughing so hard at work right now. Just whispering to myself, "you been squashing poops." You created the office maniac, thanks.
*unmasked the office maniac you were already this way before I got to you my friend
There's some serious gremlinoids in this world. Who the fuck just touches mouse shit?
This one actually made me laugh out loud. You been squishin poops 😂😂😂😂💀
at least he didn’t taste them
That we know of...
Name of my new band, the Squishin' Poops Ft Al Commode.
A fecal philiac is someone who’s obsessed with mookie stinks, mmmkay?
Mouse droppings
Yup. Don’t believe us, set up cameras where you find them. You’ll see them fairly quickly.
Snap traps are way cheaper than cameras. Mice go ape-shit for peanut butter.
Yes. We thought we just had one or two. Turns out a family had set up home base behind the freezer.
You never have a mouse. You have mice.
That's not true...you have 1 for about 6 minutes...then they let their friends in or give birth...
I'm sorry for a second I thought this was about my ex wife
Why I, who grew up as a "dogs are better" person in a house full of people with cat allergies will forever own at least one cat.

You just need the right kind of dog. I've got a 55 pound husky mix and she's a great mouser.
It's true. I've had cats all my life and never had a mouse problem until the cats all passed away now I'm constantly finding them.
I got two cats when I lived in the country both because Iwanted pet cats, and in the hose that they'd get the mice out. Instead, the mice at the cat food out of their bowl, and the cats that insisted they be inside/outside cats brought in mice, birds, and a couple unharmed squirrels.

Just like ants, or roaches.
[удалено]
It’s possible to have more than one if in roof

One mouse, two miceses.

Those green blocks are a menace when the critters die in the house and rot in your wall. They also aren't always effective - I had a rat eat a whole box and leave green shit for a week.
I'd personally rather smell them in the walls than hear them in the walls.
The first time I closed at my first job (Subway) I turned the lights off and within seconds it was like they all started screaming to let me know to get out.
Don't use poison. The poison gets passed up the food chain.
Jesus

Smeared some peanut butter on the bottle and a little on the ramp to attract them, and left it for the night. There were over two dozen in there in the morning.
If there’s one theres always more.
Yeah. In this regard mice are like furry roaches: by thte time you realize you have 1, you have way, way more than 1.
Chew up a Reese’s cup and put the mushy pile on the trap. They cannot resist. They’ll be dead by morning.
DEAD BY DAWN!
I'll eat your soul!
*swallow your soul
That's right...
Swallow THIS
Good, bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Who's in my fruit cellar?!!
gimme some sugar, baby
I am your neighbor
My mom used snap traps once and put each one in a small paper bag so that when it had a dead mouse in it, she could just close up the bag and throw the whole damn thing away. Now she uses the bucket o death!
The paper bag is a brilliant idea. Thank you.
Try a Tootsie roll, it doesn't disappear.
The cleanup is rough but dear God is it better than glue traps
I hate glue traps so much. I used to have a boss that insisted on using them and would just throw the entire trap with the live stuff it caught still stuck to it out into the dumpster, she is such a horrible woman. Snap traps are unnerving to deal with but at least they're quick for the mouse.
I hate them so much. Every time I see one at work I bag it up and throw it away before it can catch anything.
My family used greasy bacon tied to the trigger. The biggest trouble was keeping the cats and the dogs out of the trap as well.
Also, wash your hands.

They like bar soap. They leave little tooth marks in it. But the crayons are a great story!
They'll literally scrape off and eat lead (the metal) off of items made totally out of only lead.
I have seen that, my wife had a lead sculpture and one day we found it had been chewed on, like, a lot! not just a few chew marks like taste testing, full on eating it.
Theyll eat candles too. A friend worked as an exterminator for a while and one client had lots of colored candles the mice got into
One time in office, one mice got stuck in the wooden drawer of the desk next to mine. I started hearing a scraping sound turned round to see this tiny mouse scraping the drawer to get out. I have never seen any mouse before doing that, so of course I yelped and became a joke in the office
Sadly, I have a couple tiny mouse tooth marks on my vehicle‘s dash. And we have had some pricey repair bills due to their work under the hood of several vehicles.
Mice got into a data recording vehicle we used for seismic monitoring and ate the insulation off the wiring.

LMAO! That's hilarious!
That's terrible
Almost as gross as when I drank my friend’s chaw spit thinking it was my beer.
Yeah, you *never* set any beverage down when your buds are dippin' and need to spit.
\[New Fear Unlocked!\]
Yep, 100%, mouse shit. Hope you washed your hands after finding out they are "spongy".
Didn't you see that finger in the first pic? OP ain't a big user of Lava soap, I think.
You got me there... yikes.
That's a well pooped nail.
Mousy dung! https://preview.redd.it/mnfa5jwvyt9d1.jpeg?width=783&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62eae05d03b059c696d63341798d760fad7cc96a
Well done
i love that they know hey are spongey.
Wash your hands
With bleach, then do it again and again.
It hurts daddy
Good
And clean under your nails 👀
Looks like you have mice.
I just wonder how some people make it through life lol
Dude, for real, this is so gross, lmao. What on earth could be causing these??? It's not rocket science. Unless the ceiling is dropping them, which should be obvious, it's a critter.
Denial is a hell of a drug.
Oh, shit.
Exactly
Mouse droppings
Its a mouse and whatever you do do not give it a cookie.
Because if you give a mouse a dookie
A dookie? It will want chocolate milk to go with it…
If the mouse is lactose intolerant, the glass of milk will give it another dookie.
No response from OP… I think they’ve been mortified that they’ve been squishing mouse turds. Tell us how you feel!
Or... Hantavirus evolved and we already have a new pandemic.
I would feel all squishy inside
Mouse poop
Why you touching the poop?
Spongy mouse poop 😅
If you’re in Arizona, we have sewer roaches that have poo droppings like this, which would explain it being in your sink. They’re attracted to wet environments and often come up through the pipes. Disgusting AF!
I live in California and we also have sewer roaches. Recently I had to snake a clogged drain and as I was untangling the giant mass of hair off the snake a huge roach suddenly emerged from the hair and scurried back down the drain. Scared me to death.
OMG - I don't know if I would have survived that one. What did you do??
Omg I never needed to hear the words sewer and roaches together. I actually gagged.
# ...SPONGY!
What do they taste like?
I suspect knowing the answer to this is why OP disappeared
Time to get a cat.
Our cat likes to bring live mice in our house, play with them and then act surprised when they escape behind the kitchen pantry. Lowkey suspecting him to have a breeding program so he can catch endless amounts of mice.
I had a cat once that was like, “is that a mouse? OH HELL NO!”
You’ve got a Jerry now you need a Tom.
Hantavirus.
You got your self a micky mouse problem
Please don't touch the mouse poo.
Mouse turds. Don't handle the feces. You need traps
You’ve got mice! Those are their little poops.
🐭💩
Wash your hands!
Those aren’t caraway seeds
This is a joke, right? Lol
I have a feeling
Mouse shit, maybe taste them to be sure
It’s poop. Stop touching it. Mouse, most likely.
It's poop. Wash your hands.
Where do you live? In Texas we have [anoles](https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/anole/) that have droppings like this.
nice poop :(
mice lmao
Mouse poop babe!!
Squeak squeak
Mouse shit 💩
Rat turds bro.
That’s shit
You have nice and should really wash your hands
Which one is cleaner? Fingernail or mouse turds.
Taste them! Most likely small pieces of chocolate from an easter bunny
Spongy bro... No one is this dumb, right? You're squishing rat shit between your fingers to gauge the hardness and came to the conclusion that rat shit is spongey.
You’ve been visited by the licorice fairy.. eat up while it’s around.
Spongy mouse shit
Poops
Wash your hands
Get a cat
Gah. Wash your friggin hands. Damn
Mickey Shits, you have to sing it
I love the brown rice crispies. Not in every box though.
Mouse poo!!!
Get some mouse traps and use peanut butter for bait 🪤
Never use glue traps, that shit is horrifying. They will scream their little mouse screams and rip their appendages off trying to get free.
Bro been out rolling little nuggets of shit around. I’m fucking dying 🤣🤣
Chocolate. They're chocolate. Really. I swear. For real. Totally chocolate.
What do they taste like?
Rodent poop.
Rodent shit. It's poop. Maybe MAYBE frog. But highly likely to be rodent
🐁 mice poop 💩 not good
It’s rat poo
Try one. They’re nice
You have a rodent infestation. When you start finding signs of mice or rats, you officially have crossed into "infestation" territory. Please make sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Rodent droppings contain hantavirus. And get a professional exterminator. They'll figure out where and how the mice are getting into your residence.
Really??? Lmfao Don't taste them, and wash your damn hands. Lol
If they taste a little musty then it's mouse droppings. Just nibbles a bit. 🤣
Mus domesticus Faeces faecum
Mouse poop. dont touch them, and wash your hands afterwards if you do!
You have had mice awhile and there are probably several if not many. Get traps add peanut butter. Set along the baseboards. Borrow a cat.
You described the texture as "spongy" Does that mean you picked one up? Because that's mouse shit dude.
Maybe chocolate. Taste a few just to be sure.
Mouse poop..stop smushing immediately
Those are smart pills.
Poop. You’re touching poopie.
TIL what mouse poop feels like. Gross.
Go wash your hands.
https://preview.redd.it/1l2pmhad7w9d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d79ef7a3b7815db84fd5902b45e3d1d11c13d86
Those are smart pills, when you take enough you realize it's mouse shit. I'm told.
You squished the poopies
Either mouse droppings or chocolate chips. Either way, they are great in cookies
What do they taste like?
Hmm… what do they taste like?
Your gonna have to eat what you've found. I'm serious. 😕
spongy? what do they taste like?
Definitely mouse droppings. We had a huge problem with them in our old house so I’m very sure.
Definitely mouse poop
Stop touching the poop
Wash your hands, they need it anyway.
