I have a Rat in the Shed

[Reediculous]

WOW! NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY!!!!! This rat is the devil!

His newest actions:

Because of him destroying my shed and making little homes in all the insulation, i had to do some nasty cleaning today. i started picking up all the insulation and sweeping. in every corner he has stashed food. i knew he was stealing food, but today i found the mother load. He was putting food inside of centers blocks under the table in the shed, it's was pretty hard to see. i got on my hands and knees today, and they were filled to the top. after i got all of the food up (it filled a 5 gallon bucket) i started cleaning tubs.

It took me about 2 hours, but i had the place spotless. I decided to pull some feeders, and put them in a bucket in the shed. i went inside and cleaned up and started cooking dinner. i left the rats in the shed because the dog always bothers them in the buckets. i wasn't ready to start feeding, but i should of put them in the snake room to pre scent, but for so stupid reason i didn't, and thought they would be ok in the shed for about an hour or so.

i come back to armageddon! he killed each small rat i had in the tubs. he mauled them. blood everywhere and the guts and necks are ripped apart. He's a savage beast! not only is he destroying my shed, he's stealing my food, and killing my feeders! This is my fault i should have never left them in there, i had no idea this would happen.

i have to catch this guy.

i took all the food out of the hoppers today, and i'm going to have to just put bowls in the tubs to feed the feeders. when he can't find food, he'll have to go in the traps! (I hope)

Oh man what a little *&%$! I'm so sorry to hear that. He does sound like the devil rat. I agree no more Mr. Nice guy. I would never imagine a wild rat would do that. Did you get the rat zapper?

i have the zapper set up now ..... but today was the first day i removed the food from the hoppers, now there's no exposed food, he'll have to go at the peanut butter in the zapper, or the humane trap. he better hope the zapper gets him. he better pray he doesn't get caught by the humane trap!

[Reediculous]

Got her! But i'm not really as happy as i thought i would be. i feel kind of bad for her now. I'm such softee! She was pretty smart, but i'm throwing this zapper in the trash. it works, but the way i feel now is now worth it. if i can't catch'em in the humane trap i don't wanna zap them. They say the zapper is a fast kill and it doesn't hurt, but i'd rather catch and release.

Don't feel too bad. She took 10 of your rats so she'll have company in rat heaven! I'd feel kind of bad too but I'd rather her go than to have her make my colony sick or start killing them. I wouldn't throw the zapper out .. . you never know .. . she could have an evil twin.
