I don't know about the pan thing, mice are pretty athletic.
"is so flexible that it can get into your home through a crack or hole as small as 1/4-inch.
A mouse can jump as high as a foot, and climb 13 inches up smooth, vertical walls.
It can run 12 feet per second, and swim as far as 1/2 mile.
Being very inquisitive, a mouse will nibble or feed on any available human food, as well as other household items, such as paste, glue or soap.
It does not need free water, but can survive on the water in the food it eats."
