270-365v4 Runty Rat

We thought we had finally dealt with our rat problem, we had dug out all the burrows and hadn’t seen a rat for a few weeks…and then runty rat reappeared.

This was the last rat to “leave” from our last block of rats (at one point we had around 6-8 scurrying around the garden). He was always known as runty rat because he was, unsurprisingy, the runt of the last litter.

He appears to be on his own (he’s actually been back a few weeks now, this is the first time I’ve bothered to photograph him) and has re-dug a little tunnel by the garden wall. We’ve refilled it about 6 times now, but he keeps re-digging it which probably means his nest is either under the wall itself or in next doors garden.
