You just know what you know don't you. Up to no good yet again!
Trouble is living in the country they will never go away so what's the choices. CB

Oh goodness, made me shiver.
It took the rat man 3 visits to get rid of the rat in our loft. Fortunately a neighbours big ginger cat seems to have kept them at bay outside. I encourage him to lie in our garden whenever he wants.

Yuck CB! They say a rat is never more than 20 feet away.
The problem is even if you pack up uneaten food at night (which is what I do with the chicken run each night) wild bird food etc., encourages them in and I'm sure we'd all shudder to know they're probably about while we're all fast asleep.

Trouble is you can get rid of one and another will replace. I've always seen them around with bats and voles at night (not together otherwise that would be a woodland party), but not in the daytime as blazen as this one !
yes he chewed the hutch overnight which is why I was looking out for him yesterday. I always double secure my hutches with chicken wire ever since I saw a mouse sat in Fizzie's food bowl in her hutch. CB
