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.

Owain

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.

nah, without protien the mouse would have became catabolic within
a few hours and it would have started to /lose/ weight.

someone put the mouse in the CU.

question is, why ?

Perhaps they didn't need it any more, they'd bought a pointer.
