It Worked!!!!

Thank you all for your responses on catching an escapee. Tried the 2 liter bottle trick. First time he got the mouse and escaped again. Next time I made sure to have a larger meal in there! It also helped that I had just checked the trap a few minutes before and the rat pup was still there, went back in the room about 10 mins later and the rat pup was replaced with a very fat anery corn! Gone for about 3 weeks, but had only missed one meal so he is still very healthy. Thanks again.

I had an escapee yesterday. Came home from work and he was gone but I knew it was going to happen lol.
I searched everywhere and he wasn't going to be found.
I was going to use the mouse in a bottle but he already ate3 mice since coming out of cooling.
I did place plour and checked it periodically once the lights were out. I fell asleep and woke up at 6am to use the bathroom and saw crap in the corner next to the tub. I started wandering and there he was stretched out in front of the dishwasher.
The wierd part is he didn't disturb the flour and I left it at various places.
Funny part is he actually used the restroom to deficate then went to the kitchen for what I don't know lol..
