Mice at my strawberries

I have a bed of strawberries, for the second year now i have found a collection of carefully collected berries hidden in the raised bed. Mice are the culprit, they don't eat them, but collect and hide them, has anyone else found the same happening ?

That's what i thought, but no squirrels in the area, caught a mouse doing a fast exit when i watered the strawberries, there must be 40+ berries collected and rotting! I don't mind a few nibbles, but just collecting is a waste!
strawberry jam on a mouse trap! 2mice! 2slugs and a snail the second night!
Reluctantly, but the strawberries weren't even ripe. Just a waste, they will rot.
Just because i wouldnt do it, dosent mean i think im right, everyone does what they have to
I had real little giggle the other day, I heard a shuffle in the grass and I spotted a wood mouse( a young one) he tried to climb up the pole to the bird feeder but he slid all the way to the bottom clinging on with his paws ,he finally climbed up the grass and on to the feeder where he slid through the small wire gap! so sweet which was more than I could say for the two visiting rats!!!
