Nikki's super delux doll house now has dozens of little tiny mice living in it, I mean these things are tiny, built to scale even, and I do not know where to find tiny mouse traps, but you guys are just weird enough to know what to do to save this poor child's doll house from becoming a fun house for mickey.

Sounds like a nest has been disturbed. I kind of doubt they'll stay tiny.

oh these will stay small, Batty sent them in the mail to Nikki, so let's just say that these perfectly sized mice are great for display, but really, would'nt it be reasonable to have mousetraps?

I think Batty wanted Nikki's house to have a touch of reality, in fact, I am expecting dirty dishes anyday now.

What a nice thing for Batty to do. Do you have pix of the house you could e-mail? I'd love to see it!

NATHEN, I warned you NOT to open that package! If you just would have read the envelope and heeded the warning, the dollhouse would not have this mouse infestation.
Now what are you going to do?
I'll keep an eye out for miniature mouse traps, perhaps the humane type that do not harm the tiny mice, or teensy weensie boxes of D-Con, but all this could have been avoided.
It breaks my heart to think of Nikki's beautil dollhouse being over-run by rodents.
And it is all your fault.

If you are worried about these tiny Mickey mice useing Nikki's doll's house as a mini Disney land, try putting a mini Eiffel Tower in their, the place will be clear in days.

The house is a three story Victorian, which Nikki and I built, it is all wood and it has lots of gingerbread, three porchs, a turret, and glass windows and doors that open. We then added a wing to it for the kitchen and it has a flat roof which is used for a sun porch, with an entrance off of the master bedroom. We then added a two story wing, which was really another doll house but we got it for free because it had fallen off of a truck. We rebuilt it better then new and just added it to the main house.
Most of the furniture is hand carved by yours truly, at least in the main house, the guest wing is all brass. The furniture of course has canopy beds and bunk beds, cribs and tables and chairs and highchairs and the like, it also has a great carpet in the living room that Batty sent us. We just added several flower pots and various plants thanks to Batty as well.
Yes, I play with doll houses, but then again, when I am playing with dolls the world is a little safer.
OH yes the toilet, (or WC) has everything in it, soap dish with soap, toilet paper on a roll, real towels and well just everything except ring around the tub.
By the time Nikki gets married and has kids who in turn will have kids, the house will be finished, if all goes as planned.
well enough about the house, I still need those little mouse traps.

I do have some pictures of the furniture and I will try to get some of the house later.

from the sound of this house, it seems the mice would smoke opus x cigars, have slippers and wear wire rimmed eye glasses.

The house sounds lovely--the next time I am at the Doll House Shop, I'll look for teeny tiny mousetraps. I was surprised at all the tiny details that could be purchased for doll houses. I had one of the 50's metal kind when I was little, where all the rugs were painted right on the floor. Yours sounds more fun!
