I did it /an/, I caught the mouse that's been loose in my dad's house.
This is actually the second one I've gotten in a live trap this week; I let the first one go in a meadow a few miles away. I'm reluctant to do the same to this one, though, since IIRC it's the one who's an insanely voracious chewer; we had a coffee can containing cooking grease chewed all the way through, and the side of the trap this one was in had a huge hole chewed in it as well. It's also getting a lot colder out here and there's snow now.
What's my best course of action here? Trying to decide between a.) driving way the hell far away, ditching it, and hoping it won't come back or b.) seeing if the vet will euthanize it humanely. Is there a better option?
Pic related; it's the beast. It's staying in an old terrarrium until I figure out what to do with it.

Here's what it did to the trap it was caught in. This happened in less than four hours.

Keep him for the winter. They aren't that hard to take care of. Just give them some paper towels to tear up and get cuddly in, give them vegetables and the occasional fruit, and a small bowl of water

Isn't this a deer mouse though? I thought they were the worst kind to keep in the house because of disease risk.
Also I'm afraid he's going to chew through the walls the enclosure he's in and escape. This little fucker can do some damage.

It's a fucking mouse, kill it with a shovel. A vet would laugh at you for wanting to euthanize a mouse that's not even tame.

I have a friend who just releases live captured mice about a hundred yards away from the house. Probably retarded, but it seems to work.
