Greedy mouse bites off more then he can chew

Skilled? Yes. Clever? No. This hungry little mouse paid the price for over indulgence.

The sneaky three-inch-long field mouse managed to break into what was thought to be an impenetrable bird feeder only to find itself stuck inside.

The owner of the bird feeder has had to free the mouse on more then one occasion. It is believed the mouse burrows its way in through the tiny feeder hole which was thought to be too small for animals to get through.

The fruits of this mouse’s efforts proved to be its downfall as once the mouse had eaten its fill it was too fat to get back out.

Luckily for this rodent the owner of the bird feeder was kind enough to set it free.
