They're in a plastic mini green house that has the middle shelf out as the chilli plants are still in residence. They'd have to climb quite high up, up sheer soft plastic, and there's plenty of easier food around.
The beans are sprouting now - manured ones first. I'll give them a couple more weeks to check leaf shape but hopefully this means the manure is not contaminated.
I heard cat hair (preferably urine, but hair to some extent) also discourages mice as they don't like predator smells, and a friend of mine is trying peppermint oil against a household mouse issue - not sure how much that would worry a mouse, especially with such lovely food around.
