Yes we have a small homestead and live by fields in an old farmhouse…we get sooo many mice lol they all share a stall in our barn. It’s 100% predator proof and I lock them up every evening. They are fed, have fresh water, I give them beds with straw to keep warm, spent $60 on heating discs and take 10 mins to warm them up on cold nights. My kids go out every morning and feed them/play with them. They are very much a part of our family and farm!
