Allow me to say, ICK. Mice running everywhere would have me making screaming noises! I'd never heard of them burrowing in pots...maybe that is what keeps upending one of my den's outside. Hmm....

I notice the mice here like to burrow mostly in the closed pots that use crushed tree fern or coconut fiber as the medium. Sometimes in sphagnmum moss.

Funny because the mice seem to "remember" and seem to have a favorite pot. The plant I mentioned was "attacked" the second time around and I suspect these are the same parents. The first time, I simply threw out the old potting media they ravaged and replaced it with a fresh batch. It think they like that particular pot because of the scent they might have left on it.

So what I did was I changed the potting media with LECA pellets instead (the one used for semi-hydro). The mice no longer visit the plant(s) affected after I made the switch. Perhaps because they're not as moist and cool as before and also the LECA pellets are hard.

Strange mice. Now where are my mice bait???
