mice do not multiply as quickly as rats and have lots of natural

They still do it fairly rapidly, two mice (M & F of course...) will
still become 2 mice in just over 20 days and the offspring breed in
50 days or less...

Looking at:

On paper mice have a quicker turn around. Gestation is about the same
but come into breeding condition slightly faster than rats.

The blue grain will kill not only ratty, but mousey, hedgehoggy and
birdy too!

True but I assumed a smidgin of intellegence and that the instructions
would be followed. Ie covered accessable only by ratty, hedgehoggy
would be to big and mousey well he may as well be for the chop as
well. Small birdy tend not to venture inside dark holes.
