verystormy Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Act quick - they breed at an incredible rate and also, when you have things like mice, you can then get the things coming that like to eat mice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest9824 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Elfie, they will be coming in to make their nests ready for the colder weather. Having teddy may have enticed them out too, with food and biscuits about. We have had roof rats before, I was devastated that we had them when we first moved in, but they are quite common here, and possums too in the roof at night. Good luck with getting rid of them. pea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfie Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi Pea Teddy didnt leave a crumb wolfed her food down in 5 mins chased her bowl around to get the last smidge left. Never any animal food left out I dont believe in freed feeding you dont get a routine for toileting then. Food goes down if its not eaten is removed till next time Specially here with all the critters. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 ps Ross might go get me a cat from the vet next week they have lots to rehome up there. Have to work on John first Might be a good idea Elfie.... have a chat with Port Kennedy Vets as they have a cat rehoming program.... a friend is a foster carer for them and she is always asking me if I know someone who needs a cat/kitten. Give them a ring and see what they have on offer...... Let me know how you go. Rossyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
