yes, mice are known to not keep a tidy house, and to not use an outhouse even when one is available.
That's why we don't like them mousses. And ratses. And even spiders....though I like'em but when cleaning radios I have to kick the out, I don'wqant all the dead flies inside......

Speaking of rubber erasers, pinki or pearl or not - be careful with them as they, as every vulcanized rubber, have sulfur which is known to blacken silver, so if you have a silver wire or contact, do not clean it with rubber.
