Do mice travel together?

Question

My daughter found 2 mice in our sun porch tonight. They probably came in from the door being left open? Can they climb the 4 steps up to the sun porch? If so, that is it - the kids leave that door open all the time. I am just really concerned about why there would be two roaming around out there?

Answer 1

Yes mice can climb up the riser on the stairs. They also have adapted to climb almost any vertical surface. But whats more they can jump 20 times their height. So if they wanted to jump up the step's riser they could no problem. But their favorite mode of traveling vertical is anything from a wire to a gutter or a plumbing pipe.
