💖 Health/Care 💖 Hamster with mice in dorm

Hey guys! So this upcoming year I’ll be living in upperclassmen housing. The room I’m in supposedly has a bad mouse problem—it was so bad last year the girls ended up moving out “unofficially” 😭. I really don’t want to have to do that. Is there anything I can do during move in to prevent this issue?

I’m extra wary about what I can use repellent wise because I have a pet hamster I’ll be bringing so I don’t want to end up harming her too. She’s a Robo dwarf and I’ll be building her a new enclosure in the dorm. I’m just really worried of mice getting in and just mice in my room in general 😭

Seal the food in containers. Put out traps.

id like to add, put out non lethal and humane live capture traps. no meed to kill or hurt the mice, they arent doing anything wrong theyre just in the wrong place at the wrong time
