I wasn't catching onto the idea that it was held by thread the mouse would chew through. I wonder how scalable this concept is. I guess you can go large enough to catch anything that would chew through string to get to a bait.

I watched the video. Hern, what are you using for bait? I was thinking maybe a smear type bait and rubbing it on the strings....? Also, what did you use for springs? I bet BG springs would work well

In the vid the captured mice are washed - he had to appease the PETA crowd. But for bait purposes they can be frozen with the oil on their coat, might even enhance it as bait. One caveat: @ 2:25 he says that he usually catches wild Deer Mice but that these are House Mice... I'm thinking wild mice would be strong/agile enough to jump from a shallow bowl. Might have to improvise there a bit. I might like that better than the rolling log or my foam plate traps. Will give that one a go!
