Arse. I acquired a pair of adolescent rats a few weeks ago, and when they stuck around (having a grand time in the duck food) I bought some traps, left them out for a bit to become normal and then started leaving them unset but baited with Nutella for a week.
Tonight I thought I’d try setting them. One was tripped but empty of everything but food an hour ago, just checked and that one has been licked clean and the other is tripped but again empty of everything but food.
Wondering if the rats are still too light to properly trip the traps. Don’t want them to learn to evade before they get big enough to properly trip them.
Any thoughts? Can’t use rat-proof chicken feeders for ducks, don’t want to use poison because of Dog/wildlife.
