Why do mice carry there p**p?

Question

so i have a mouse right, and whenever he takes a dump in a small space he would pick it up in his mouth and carry it to a larger room? any reason why they do this? do they just hate the smell or are they like cleaning up after themselves?

Answer 1

maybe his bedding isn't clean. and is he putting it in the same spot or is he putting it in different spots  

Answer 2

if you pooped in your bed area would you leave it there or get rid of it.suppose it was on the table you eat at.

Answer 3

Well, yes they kinda of are. Does he "dump" near where he sleeps? Usually they want to keep it tidy and keep clean.
