Is this Mouse droppings?

Hi I live in an apartment on the 9th floor and I went in my bathroom which is very small and only I have access to, and i pulled out a old grocery bag because I save them to line the trash can and in one bag there were tiny brown glops of substance. I have no idea what they are. The cabinet is elevated off the floor and must be opened with the handle to get in. I can't tell if it's a mouse or not. And the bag was balled up so I don't get how if it was poop how they got inside because it was wrapped so tight. I heard mouse poop is black also. I don't know. Any knowledge you have please post.

    Check your cabinet for any small cracks or holes the mouse could have slipped through. They can get through very tiny spaces. Also try Google searching "mouse droppings" and see if the images you find match what you found in the bag. If the bag was dirty or there are other things in the cabinet that could have left brown globs then that could be the cause. Also try to keep an ear out for any scratching sounds, and maybe ask your neighbors if they've suspected mice in their home. As a safeguard, it's never a bad idea to keep your pantry foods in plastic containers or other containers that are not easily accessed by pests such as mice or bugs.

    I'm pretty sure that the color of mouse poop depends on their current diet, just as ours does. As for the stuff you found, it most likely is mouse poop. They can get in almost anywhere. If you're a clean freak, just throw that bag away and store them somewhere else from now on. If you're not, then brush them off into a trash container and go on with your life. Maybe put a small container of mouse poison in there if you don't have any kids.
