I do agree on having a deeper bucket. I would also recommend making the paddle out of material that the mice can't grip on, like metal.

[@bobthegoat7090]

Or maybe just sanding down the wood or giving it a coating

[@theYoutubeHandle]

and put a cat at the end of the bucket

[@bobdole870]

If you really wanted to go overkill, plastic with a coating of peanut oil. No way they’ll be able to grab on to that.

[@ABD5667]

Maybe the board is too easy for the mice to grip but I'm actually impressed by the mice agility to jump out

[@wolfthorn1]

That's what I was thinking. A plastic paddle might work better. Or cover the board in laminate.

[@alexhunter721]

Maybe some oil or butter instead bait on the bottom of the bucket work against jumping off the ground

[@chuckb1448]

​@alexhunter721 put water in the bottom and help them to be eliminated

[@WowUrFcknHxC]

Mice and rats are ridiculously agile animals. They're kind of amazing.

[@jamiecapes2644]

Those little devils that got away need to be caught in deep water. Grease the board with peanut oil.

[@kentslocum]

I like how most of the mice didn't bother trying to escape once they discovered that the bottom of the bucket was full of sunflower seeds.

[@MyMy-tv7fd]

put a thin coating of vegetable oil on the board, then the mouse gets a light oiling on its paws and it loses grip and drops faster and cannot grip to leap out via the greasy board and its greasy paws

[@JeanYvesBouguet]

Super entertaining video! It really sucks to be the non-native mouse in the bucket. 😂

[@jeangemmel7895]

You've got to feel sorry for the 'outsider'.

[@snappycattimesten]

Is a non native mouse really any different? I think it’s ridiculous.

[@gigaslave]

@@snappycattimesten Invasive species disrupt the ecosystem more than local mice.

[@snappycattimesten]

@@gigaslave how’s so?

[@qdexdaz]

@@snappycattimesten just as an example, here where i live non-native ladybugs were introduced via food imports and they have driven the native ladybugs to near extinction. non-native animals also introduce non-native diseases and parasites that native species aren't used to dealing with and have no resistance to.

[@cliffcannon]

Some people have a flea circus ... Shawn has a mouse circus!

[@kathrynparker1748]

Very entertaining watching mice holding on and some finally losing their grip, this one really made me laugh good and made my day.

[@eamonahern7495]

I like this trap. I'm so used to seeing the shorts every day that it's a treat (and sometimes a pleasant surprise, like today 😆) to get the longer form Monday and Friday videos.

[@GaisaSanktejo]

You already mentioned the bucket not being deep enough, but I also believe the ply was too easy for the rodents to grip and as others mentioned, a plastic version should be more effective.

[@franklegerski9682]

Deeper bucket? Plastic board? Love your channel.😮

[@chungkingcansuckit6345]

I loved this one. I'd love to see more videos of this with a larger bucket. It's kind of like a circus acrobat show.

[@madhousepatient9994]

Shawn, add just a bit of peanut oil. They can't jump high if the're slipping. It wont take much.

[@genef1027]

The concept is good, but needs a much deeper bucket for that length of board. Maybe board could be an inch or two shorter, but not too much shorter because otherwise mouse won't tip the board angle far enough to fall in. I agree a 7 gallon bucket would be better choice, or add water.

[@sueneilson896]

Have used a similar trap with great results. The main difference is I used a plastic counterweighted disk that was a slightly smaller diameter than the bucket, so very slippery, and won’t allow the mice to jump out. Also some water in the bucket to stop jumping.

[@thenerdbeast7375]

a counter weight so it always rests at an even flat position would work well too

[@jeangemmel7895]

It definitely would need to be a deeper bucket as some of them did get back out or as you say Shawn a mini swimming pool at the bottom of the bucket for a no return! Some of those wee beasties are really clever at sussing out how to get back onto the spindle xx Jean from Scotland.

[@Elenesski]

I'm curious how well it would work with a board that was made out of something they couldn't grab on to ... like some hard plastic. Also, I'd add a weight to the bottom of the bracket to prevent the board from ever point straight down.

[@HugoHugunin]

If the corners of the wood were sanded, round and waxed, I would think the mice would do less gymnastics and more "Kerplunking".

[@misternewoutlook5437]

It's about time that Shawn did a series of top ten single catch mouse traps, top ten single catch rat traps, and a top ten of multi-catch of each mouse and rat traps as well.

[@nykole1963]

I'm sure a bit of oil on the bottom would be good too if you don't want to buy another bucket and don't want to kill the little guys.

[@junkmail6274]

For 2M viewers, you should build a giant version of this for trapping hogs....

[@honthirty_]

Why? He does not need a motorcycle.

[@davidp2of3]

Might work better with sheet metal so they can't hold on and climb back up

[@marathonrunner2590]

Who cares whether or not this particular trap works. It's great fun just watching the mice spin around and plop into the bucket. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@Nozinbonsai]

I use a dowel covered in pvc pipe and water in the bucket.

[@MrJameslar]

Place a counterweight at each side of the paddle. The paddle will return to a horizontal position after it dumps the mouse.

[@GrandizerGo]

Switching to a piece of acrylic might help keep them from grabbing on when they jump.

[@mattf9096]

I wouldn't make any plank from wood since their claws are pretty much designed to climb that material. Get a strip of stainless and give it a second go.

[@vladimir945]

Would it work if the board is fixed along the metal rod, not across it? Could still be enough for the mice to lose their balance and fall down, and then more difficult to grab an edge to climb back on top of it.

[@stephendaurie9344]

making the board a little shorter may prevent the mice from jumping back up and escaping

[@craigmooring2091]

If you don't want to use a deeper bucket, you could replace the wooden board with smoother, harder material, or maybe just epoxy the board.

[@MrEdwinHubble]

1:55 mouse goes propeller... Next up: mouse powered airplanes take over the green power challenge.

[@scottshepard345]

If you put a soft pad on the bottom then they could not jump up as well. Maybe an inch thick layer of sunflower seeds would prevent them from jumping.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Slightly shorter board, and a little sanding and polishing, to reduce the mice's traction, and this'll be great~ I feel the super-athletic mice deserve their win; they've earned it.

[@giftgiver]

I'm no rocket scientist but I'd call that a metal rod, not a wire 🤷‍♂️

[@redactedbananas]

Use a small magnet to keep it horizontal after it spins.

[@benthere8051]

Make the board out of very smooth plastic or Teflon.

[@tenchraven]

Stronger. Faster. Smarter. More agile. Shawn, you've forced them to evolve.

[@Julmara]

or dont use a piece of wood but instead a piece of very smooth plastic so they cant hold on to well so they cant jump out at all as its just to slippery

[@brainardsinbrazil5274]

My 4 year old “this one’s just a toy for rats, they do funny things on it”

[@AB-ye7bw]

I remember the bucket trap from a few videos ago that was nothing more than a bucket with a mouse ramp. Seeds and peanut butter was all that was needed. Seemed to be just as effective.🐀🪣

[@cmuller1441]

A aluminum plate instead of just wood would probably offer less grip to escape.

[@dandruff7807]

Replace the center revolving piece of wood with a tongue depresser..

[@peteredwards338]

Those mice have had circus training !

[@chrisnielsen27157]

Hi Shawn, I think the trap would work better if the plank was made of plastic ( slippery) good trap though

[@samdim3746]

Very simple solution to this trap, put water inside the bucket rat can't jump of enough water.

[@aliasfred]

Remake the paddle board out of some "slick" plastic.

[@Sundancer268]

I would make the board out of PVC Plastic so they could not get a grip.

[@WayneWerner]

Acrylic with smoothed edges would be harder to grip

[@Walter-wo5sz]

I think you could start a mouse circus.

[@adolfocarranco2347]

Maby replace the wooden board with some sort of plastic or metal material seem like they have some grip on the wood 😅

[@dennisfisher1430]

This seems to be a way of evolving supermice

[@gregoryschmidt1233]

02:11 Let the cannibalism begin...

[@russelrogers2540]

If the plank was made of plastic, I don't think the mice could hold on and use it to escape.

[@lasersbee]

If the Board was made of slippery plastic the mice could not jump to grab it and get out...

[@jllucci]

Think the bucket needs to be taller.

[@brenthaymon280]

Use a plastic board and put a glue trap in the bottom of the bucket. 🐁 🪣

[@WTF_BBQ]

put oil on the board, or use plastic board instead of wood.

[@paula3124]

Try remaking that trap with either a glass or plastic board, so the mice can't grip on, when they jump up.

[@toddoakes5877]

You appear to be selectively breeding for better-jumping wild mice

[@biohazard1158]

please make more rolling log trap videos that is my favourite trap that I have discovered on this channel. I would really appreciate if you would make a video on that trap again after maybe a year or two? I don't know how long ago it was but please make more videos on it.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Still no match for the mighty paper plate, but it did have some success at least

[@chrisvorgert229]

Love seeing the critters!! Thank you

[@marielg9143]

Love the video love the trap thinking about making this one. Thank you Shawn.

[@shinypaintf588]

i wanna know have you talked about how you get that amount of mice for these videos???

[@squallsheart69]

I wonder if a plastic or pvc "board " would work better so the mice can't grip it so easily. Good concept though

[@ihcfn]

Curious if one species was better at escaping or more inclined to escape.

[@paulredinger5830]

Put 5 inches of water in the bucket. They won’t jump out then.

[@gunner4544]

Owl decoy with a clear bucket…

[@duncanbailey8142]

Question would that trap work for a rat

[@user.A9]

Is ether (aka engine starting fluid) considered to be a method for humane dispatch? Asking for an acquaintance.

[@chubbrock659]

I think the mice were just having fun at this point 😂

[@unclebs4732]

Instead of wood, use plastic, the mice couldn't grab it as easily.

[@chuckb1448]

How did you get it to self level after each spin, weights?

[@user-of5zg1ww8k]

Thank you for the work.

[@timf6916]

Only good mouse is a DEAD ONE

[@Brayro2k12]

great job love your mousetraps

[@boneybone8123]

What are you doing afterwards with the mice you caught?

[@SaycoRa]

Good work Crawdaddy.

[@paullanyi516]

Thanks!

[@tpl608]

No pet mice PTSD alert.

[@joshg6491]

I love these traps. Always gives me a good laugh

[@akbychoice]

Just put a layer of peanut oil in the bottom.

[@jasonz7788]

Awesome thanks 👍

[@DG-iw3yw]

Hey shawn, do a vid where you just smear peanut butter on stuff lol

[@thesaltysierra5202]

Hardcore Parkour!

[@ManuelPinner]

A Smooth Plastic Board is better!

[@gavinlee4537]

What did I just watch in my recommended?

[@darlatidwell6255]

It worked well enough to catch a few. 👍

[@lbcsv]

Great trap!

[@QBlackDeathQ]

Who Will be our next (American House Mouse Warrior)?"

[@andymanaus1077]

Use some vinyl-coated MDF instead of wood. Round over the edges with sandpaper.

[@Electrowave]

Circus mice! 🙂

[@ynotynot8040]

Instead of a board use metal

[@paulbetka6477]

Deeper bucket 👍🏻🙁

[@dpjbdpjb]

needs to be higher and slicker

[@CR055FIRE]

he just lets them go i dont get it

[@marathonrunner2590]

If you don't want to make this a kill trap, I suppose you could always put some vegetable oil in the bottom. The mice will get all slicked up and won't be able to get the traction to jump very high.

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

Still an excellent creator

[@chrisvorgert229]

Looks like a fair ride!! LoL Neat idea!
