Can mice climb top of square plastic buckets the kind used for bucket cubbies an get into cardboard box of rat pelts , on top bucket ? Also have beaver on piece cardboard lay on top cardboard box traps, no sign mice damage on edges, should u take stack beaver pelts apart an look underneath occasionally ? I think u could see any damage outside edges ?

Mice could be dropping from ceiling or jumping off walls. When they want at something it's amazing the lengths they go to do it

I use to gang set all around my beaver hide stacks.
Poor people have poor ways.

I never have had any mice problems when It came to my fur. Stored rat hides In card board boxes and right know I have 4 beaver hides laying on top of my work bench. And I just checked them out and no problems. And I do have mice In the shop. The other day I had shut down one of my freezers and I left the top open so It would dry out. Looked a few days later and there were 2 mice running around In the freezer.

Coons a guy guy can stomach, but when they mow out a shoe sized patch on the belly of a $1200 wy bobcat just to make a nice toasty nest, then you get a little mad.
I had a customer take his 3 finished cats out of the freezer, lay them on top of said freezer, go feed cows, come back, grab cats, go meet the furbuyer.
In that time frame the mice got into his fancy cats. They would have averaged $1200. I ended up paying him 1200 on two, and $150 on the mouse damaged.
Sent the damaged one to nafa, and it sold for $163
Last I saw the disgruntled rancher, he was headed towards the hardware store for mouse traps.

The easiest way to keep mice out of fur is preventative maintenance. Put some poison out.
