151414 here. I have touched glue traps many times, and sure they are sticky, but it takes very little effort to unstick a small object such as a fingertip (or even smaller--a mouse foot) from one. A mouse has a much higher strength-to-surface area ratio than a human does. It has no difficulty unsticking a paw.
The first thing that happens when ANY animal gets caught in something is to pull away from it and struggle. A mouse that only has a foot on the trap can simply pull its foot away. I have seen this happen with my own eyes on numerous occaisions. However, what normally happens that the rodent walks onto the trap and then becomes stuck on its body fur. Use your brain and think about it: If a rodent got instantly stuck with just one foot, then how could one ever walk all the way onto a trap? The second its first paw hit the glue it couldn't travel any farther becasue it couldn't pick its foot back up again.
Anyway, if a rodent walks onto the trap, they become stuck by the fur on their body and limbs. The glue now has a much higher surface area to bond onto, and now the rodent doesn't have enough purchase to pull itself free.
