So on Sunday I noticed a seed that I had sprouted in water and then put into coco was missing. I thought I was going nuts. I dumped the entire little cup of coco out and sifted through it. Seed gone.
I figured ok, well when I planted it I had a few drinks, so maybe I somehow messed that up. IDK. So I start another seed. Last night it had its little tail so I put it in a rock wool cube.
This morning I get up to check on it, and ITS GONE. WTF.
Its a mouse. There were mouse droppings on my desk near where the heat mat was at. I just had a mouse eat a $10 seed.
I've been seeing him for a few weeks now, but I never would have imagined he'd be so brazen as to get on my desk and go after a single seed that was in rockwool in a cup of water.
I've had a mouse trap out with peanut butter as bait, and the mouse / mice just has not been interested in it.
So today I stepped things up. I went to the dollar store and can a can of easy cheese and some roasted sunflower seeds. Lets see them try to resist this! And 2 extra traps. I put one near my seed mat where I know he's been, one in my bathroom where I've seen it, and another under the sink.
