Paul T Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well, I can usually keep the rat population under control with break-back traps, but this year I seem to have some that are very wary. The final straw was them managing to gnaw through one of the rabbit hutches and steal a full litter of day old youngsters last night :mad: I hate rats and I can't make the rabbit barn rat proof, but I have an idea where they are lurking. Also, I'm due to re-stock the hay barn soon so it's a good time to 'out' them before it gets too full again. Any local gent with ferrets that fancies a couple of hours to help me out tommorrow or Sunday? Will go for a couple of beers or round at Park Lodge after. We WILL need to work round the chickens and rabbits (which is why I've got a rat problem) so please bear that in mind. PM me if interested.

Teal Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Your best bet may be a smoker, not many people are happy working their ferrets on rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
