[LotR] Could Frodo have "gamed" the One Ring's corruptive power by taping the Ring to a mouse and keeping the mouse in his pocket?

Y'see, the mouse is technically the Ring-bearer, and Frodo is carrying him.  Sure, eventually the mouse will become corrupted and desire Lordship for himself, but with a sufficient supply of mice, this problem could be averted (except of course Gollum would be joined by a string of ex Ring-bearing rodentia all following the Fellowship). 

Another benefit is that Boromir would probably be too embarrassed to fight a mouse to take the Ring for himself...

No, the ring would still affect Frodo. The mere proximity of the ring is enough to affect people, it's not like its affects are limited to some official "bearer."

So not only would the ring still affect Frodo, but the mouse would present a constant threat of escaping which would only trigger Frodo's desire to prevent said escape and cause him to focus and worry about it more, perhaps speeding up the corrupting effect on Frodo.
