Yes, I remember in my previous life as a townie, I had a rat man capture a rat for me as it had a nest nearby (we lived practically in the sea), I thought it was so cute - didn't release it but did give it Mr Kiplings exceedingly good Manor House cake as a final treat.  ::)

Snowball caught a large rat yesterday from under the chicken coop. Was so proud of her I even facebooked the picture  ;D

We've had rats which seemed to live under the goat shed but haven't seen any for ages.  Long may it last.
