Can anything else go wrong......?

Woke up this morning with 90% of my rats gone, looks like one of the kids left the garage door open and the dog/cats got in..... GGGRRRRR :evil::evil::evil:

Were your cages knocked over?.. how many rats?

 

[evil_red_head]

You may want to leave an open cage with some food in it out in the shed or one just outside. Its amazing where the little guys can hide. I went away in feb and dogs got in to my collection, had 6 cages destroyed and thought i lost 10 rats but 7 ended up coming back. Never know your luck

 

[KaaTom]

Yep tubs everywhere, I lost in excess of 150 rats....

[BlackMamba]

Let your snakes loose in the shed, that should fix it

get yourself a humane rat trap or 10 you will be able to re capture probably most of them if you act quickly. I find most escaped rats will stay in the area they are kept in as long as there is ample hiding spots, food and water so put out some water bowls and leave some food out and set the traps. I always loose some here and there but always recapture them fairly quickly.

Oh and if your worried about getting a few wild ones mixed in the batch i assure you that you will definitly know the differance lol

Luckily I live on 5 acres then... but I honestly think the dog with the help of the local feral cats helped dispose of them as there was a bit of blood around....

Aw, sorry to hear that Kaatom

Well, actually, the snakes could all escape and go off after the rats and there could be a sudden flood and everything drowns - that would be worse

Hope you get some of the rats back soon.

They often hang around, so if they dont get killed you have a fair chance of getting them back. I once had about 7 or 8 rats escape and i got them all back.
