Up the Ral Ral Creek. S.A.
We aren't happy puppies tonight. Some rotten fatherless person in our little out of town street has dobbed us in to the local council for our hobby rodent farm. He has rung them anomonously(is that the spelling?) stating that the Rodent Ranch is smelly. He's way down the end of the street and that is complete BS! All the immediate 5 neighbours say they cannot smell anything ever. We clean out all the nesting boxes once per week! Its just BS. The thing is that he found a rat at his house. Whether it is one of ours or one of the feral fruit rats that my cat occasionally kills nobody knows. I said to Dave, he should either produce the rat or pics thereof, or it didn't happen, as you guys are so fond of saying. LOL! We usually have some of those Rodent bait blocks strategically placed around, just in case we have escapees anyway. So now we have to wait for a letter from the Renmark Council next week to see what the next step will be. If they want to make us change everything and apply for a Planning Application, whatever that is, who knows what will happen? Grrrr!!! The idiot down the road blabbed to Dave's Mum re the rat he found/saw or whatever, so we know he would be the one to dob us in. He's a late comer to the street, and we are all a tight knit little community here, so I reckon he could be on the outer in future. I hope this biz doesn't stuff us up. We enjoy our rodent ranching, even tho it keeps us busy. Never a dull moment here, I can tell you. Oh well thats my gripe for the day. Cheers Cheryl
 
:-( That's tuff, RR! :-( Hope it all turns out ok. :-(
 
Dave reckons "Every Dog Has His Day" Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! This guy has a bad case of Prickly Pear on his property. Maybe an anomynous phone call is in order to the Council?
 
Heres what you do Cheryl, Get rats from another source, totally differnt genetic material and release them in his house. Then complain to the council that his rats are running wild and interfereing with your rats.
 
Yeah Wombat. We might just do that "anomynously" as well. If he really did find an escapee of ours, he could have come and seen us first, not go off half a$$ed to the Council without saying anything eh? The council is going on about a "Planning Application"? This Renmark Council sucks! Why do we need a Planning Application for a Hobby? What the heck is that? We didn't build anything? We have an old coolroom for the mouse house, and an insulated truck container about 27ft long for the rathouse. Darned if I know. But we'll just have to see what the letter says next week. I'm really not a violent person, but I was pretty pi$$ed off this arvo, and felt like punching his lights out. Grrrr!
 
Well, if worse comes to worse, we'll just have to sell off all our rats, well except just a few to breed for our Coastal and two MD's eh. Reckon I'll get a buyer for all the Quackenbush mice no probs. Not sure yet, but we could use the 27ft truck container for some other sort of project I'm sure. Dave will work something out.
 
Some people are unbelieveable Cheryl! They'll do anything when they are obviously bored! I'm hoping they won't be able to do much to you at any rate :? How does he know about what you're running anyway? I bet he's retired and has a real big snozzer on him! :lol: :lol: I've got one of those nosey parkers living next door! :lol:
 
has a real big snozzer on him!
don't think John Elliot is out that way *PMSL*, but ppl like this are what cause so much problems, and your neighbours have no problems with your setup, just need to fix him up, and I don't think violence is going to sort him out, but would be fun to smack the S.O.B around for a while
 
Hey Moosey, he's got a big snozzer. Not retired. Works at the Renmano Winery. Can't believed he's dobbed us in. We've never complained about his very very loud music at 12am at night. What a loser@Mack Avenue, Cooltong, via Renmark. Reckon he'll lose his non mates in this street?Nearly everyone in our little tight knit, outta town street knows what everyone else is doing eh? its a hobby farming block area. First time we've had a complaint in two years. Sorry I've been off line for a while. Just trying to sell a bag of cheap oysters on the hoof @ $6/doz. Just out of the water yesterday, from Smokey Bay over near Ceduna Sa. Yum. Can't wait for a good Oyster feast 2morrow night.
 
Yeah actually, just heard very, very loud music down there a while ago, and thought about a confrontation, but thought I'll leave it up to Dave to do some subtle stirring! Don't want to go off half a$$ed here eh? But its gone quiet now, so I might just not do anything at all at the moment. Just wait till Dave does his subtle dobbing in etc. Its too early. Only 9.30pm here. LOL! Grrrr!!!
 
Hi Cheryl,

I hope everything works out for you. I can't understand how he can smell your rodents when the people who live closer to you can't smell them.

BTW, wombat100 and I the 2 completely different members. I have no idea who he/she is or where they live. I am the original "wombat". :p

Cheers,
Wombat.
 
Oh ok Wombat, I thought you were the one who contacted me about some rats, but no probs. Don't worry Moosey, we will now not be the friendly neighbours that he "used" to know that's for sure. PAYBACK! ie. all the rest of the neighbours that have no complaints will send him to Coventry(ex school thing) We will sort him out very subtlely, no worries. We will spread the word around Cooltong. Aaar, Aaar, Aaar!!!!
 
you can always use his water taps to fill up the water tanks, so he suffers financially??? for yourself and neighbours just a way to get back at him, be sly and strike at him stratigically
