A new generation of mice are probably coming in because of the weather and the goodies. If they're anywhere in the house, it's just a matter of time until they get to the kitchen.
Glad you can fix the batting. And very glad that they didn't tear up the quilt top/bottom in the process!

No advise about quilt but you might find this interesting I came home from being gone 2 months. Mouse dropings all over my kitchen counters all dog food under sink ate up I bleached everything set out traps got 2 mice upstairs I guess they had did away with a few mice in there house while I was gone. Well I knew I still had at least one mouse left because I saw him. Well about 2 weeks ago I started seeing mouse droppings on my counter again now mind you I have 3 traps out. BUT EVERY morning I have to disinfect my counters I just can't seem to get rid of him

Just be glad that it didn't attack the quilt top. My mom always told me find the good in every situation.
Now you can trim away the bad section of the batting and attach a new strip. I like to fuse the join with a 1/2" strip of fusible stableizer or interfacing, then zig zag over the join.
I know you said you had no more batting, but guess you will have to get some.
Oh, and set some traps. LOL

I piece battings very often and I usually just whip stitch them together unless it is a firm one like warm and natural. Then I run a zigzag line tby machine to join the pieces. Batting has become so expensive .

That makes me think of the time some years ago I had a flannel backed table cloth on a picnic table on the deck and the squirrels tore a good share of the backing off of the table cloth. Probably made good nesting material.
