Loose Rat Pup

Well, good news is all three of my new BPs were more than happy to chow down today. Bad news is I've finally done it and lost a rat. The last one I fed struck at the rat and it jumped out of the tub and disappeared. I've had a live trap set up for several hours and nothing. I really have no idea where it is now. Anyone have any tipe on how to catch the little bugger?

My dog usually does the job she find the escape (if I have one) and corner it, all I have to do is grab it.

What did you use as a bait in your trap?

Hmm.. wonder if my pups will do the job for me haha, I guess we'll see. I put some dog food in there...and a mini wheat...and a carrot... dont know if I have a picky rat lol

Peanut butter and or a piece of chicken work great never had much luck with dog food.

Have peanut butter in there too lol forgot to mention that. I'm really just concerned with it chewing up my wires and flexwatt. Last time I saw it it was under one of my leo racks so I'm a little worried. I think most would agree to not feed this to a snake right? Believe it or not this is my first rodent escapee hahaha so I'm a noob at this.

FOUND IT!!! haha I'm so happy!!! I heard a rustling noise and sure enough the little booger was on some boxes next to my bed just exploring. It was only missing for a few hours and there is no rat poisin in my room, do you think it would be okay to feed it?

I would still wait at least two days. If it ate something bad it most likely will have died by then or passed it.

T-Rex rat traps and a product made by Tomcat for baiting traps. No rodent can resist it, and SNAP! Works every time.
