my mouse maze from last year had this 19 millimeter hole that the mouse got
through without problems, but I wonder
how small a hole can a mouse get through.
And if that most makes it through all
these holes I can just slide that over
and force the mouse through even smaller
holes.
I put some peanut butter in front of the holes as well as in the holes and
in the compartments behind.
And I've got my Raspberry Pi 2 with a camera module watching it
Now I just have to wait for a mouse
so the critical diameter is somewhere
between 16 and 17 and a half millimeters
so have to make some holes of those
sizes and I'm using my pantorouter
for those odd sized holes
I know the mouse can get through that one.
What I'm testing is half a millimeter smaller and one millimeter smaller than that
I'm adding more peanut butter to make it
more tempting for the mouse
so it'll actually try those holes
finally it went in a hole but I already knew It could do that one
it seems the mouse wasn't even trying the smaller holes but added more peanut butter just
to make sure the mouse kept coming back
Oh no no I've been infiltrated by a mole
but actually it's just as shrew, but still
not what I was looking for
well I guess this one's a little bit too
big to take away the mouse bait
and the mouse is back but I think that
most has just gotten lazy or maybe I fed
or maybe I fed it too much already
well at least that shrew is trying to get
into holes
that hole is too small just give it up
holy crap I wonder if it is
make it back out
no way the mouse never tried to go through that hole
I left the experiment running for a few
days after that and the shrew kept going
through the same holes but never the
smallest one
