How small a gap can a mouse get through ? well, measure the hole
where the tails enter the CU and that's about right for ingress.
however, there seems to have been some malfunction of the
mouses egress strategy :-)


Especially as, without food, the mouse should be getting thinner, not
fatter.

so, someone actually /placed/ the mouse inside the CU ?

the plot thickens.


Perhaps it got in as a baby and got fat - but insufficiently fed - on the
insulation.
