The reality is.... (DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVE A SENSITIVE NATURE) The mouse walks over the pad, gets its feet stuck, struggles (as you would) getting more than just its feet stuck. When I went to pick up the trap, the mouse had got its eye stuck in the gunk, which during the struggle had been pulled out of its head, its mouth and nose had been glued up with the gunk, I originally thought it was dead, but on closer inspection it had just been mumified in the gunk, and was still alive. I ended up drowning it in a bucket of water, to put it out of its missery. What a horrible way to go. I removed the rest of the traps.

OMG the poor poor thing!!!
