ok i checked under the stove...nothing. he couldnt go under the fridge because there's no gap but behind is a potential?? if he would go that far...seems awfully long to travel across a cold cold tile floor. but how would i move the fridge to check???

sorry for the panic and quick replies. checked the closet 1/2 and it's no luck. have had the rat on an air heater for 20 min in this room with no luck...going to put it in the kitchen by the fridge
