Mouse in toilet?

Wondering if anyone has ever found a mouse in their rv toilet. Found one today, dead, floating in the water with a closed lid.

  • Yes, I had one commit suicide by drowning a couple weeks ago. Had 'food' out for him.
  • If the mouse is in the toilet, it obviously didn't come in through the tank vent or anything else to do with the waste tanks unless there's an opening around the sink drain. A mouse desperate for water can easily crawl in under the toilet seat or lid, and most rodenticides like D-Con, etc., do make mice desperately thirsty which only hastens the effect. The mouse could have made entry in any of a number of ways, so checking for and plugging any openings around pipes, wires, etc., would be a good idea.
  • Considering rv toilets have a valve that closes the bowl off so odors do not enter the camper and a drain valve that closes the drain off, I can't imagine a mouse, no matter how thirsty, climbing to the rv's roof and crawling down the stink stack.

    So I'd be searching for a hole somewhere he entered. Mice will and do chew plastic and rubber so an inspection ot the holding tank may be warranted.

    Mice get thirsty just like Dogs and to toilet has water. THe nice things about a mouse in the toilet is you need not get dirty disposing of it.. Just flush.
  • I suspect you may have a nest somewhere in your rig. There is never just one mouse!
