Thank you for being a kind soul and understanding that rats aren’t out to get you, they are just doing what rats do. Too many people I know want to poison or kill rodents and I feel it’s cruel when they can just be relocated. I have all kinds of rodents and squirrels where I live in New Mexico USA and only occasionally do they become a problem. Squirrels do eat my cactus and succulents occasionally and ate a piece off one cactus and now it’s morphed into something really cool looking.

I have only now worked up the courage to watch this vid because I did not want to see you kill a rat. It just wanted to eat. So glad you're a pacifist at heart!

My last encounter with ratus ratus, was a bite to my big toe when my foot obstructed its escape route from under the computer desk, and maybe the rat's opinion of me having a cat. I have pictures. Was only last Summer. Neighbour down stairs was not as relaxed, when a rat ran over her in her bed. Could have been more exciting, and free adrenaline rush, had the little mammal climbed in with her. They're not in the least intimidated by great ape primate and will stand their ground with any predator, but with little success with a snake which has no trouble following through tight spaces.

Haha wow! My only encounter was when I startled one that had made a nest in among the blades of my lawn mower… probably lucky that I turned it over to clean the blades, rather than just getting straight to mowing!

Here it is not the rats thats the problem, its slugs. My god its annoying, when you been taking care of plants for years and over night just gone...😡

Yikes. We have slugs around here but I suspect my greenhouse is too dry for them to venture in.
@raystephens95502 ай бұрын
Perhaps, but in comparison to habitat theft and poison taking out blue tongue lizards with the baited snails, like owls with warfarin for rodent, native and otherwise. At least the mollusc aren't taking out the whole forest, and we are yet to be boiled alive like clam in shallow water. Just saying, I do understand how tolerance worn thin leaves little room for slug diplomacy.

Very true! Not necessarily an antidote to smaller pests though.. fungus gnats seem to especially have a predisposition towards indoor grows.

Maybe irony rules and huge bears are easier to frighten than little rats. Rats have scared me out of my day dreaming by simply flying out of some place unexpected and climbing over any obstacle, like me en route. Relative sprinting speed looks like 160kph

I just watched your video -- I wouldn't have thought rats could eat so much? This rat has taken a few nibbles on my Euphorbias and always moved on -- clearly not enjoying the taste, so it surprises me that they could eat all those pups.

@@AridZine it might be a rabbit. The weird thing is that I googled rodents eating euphoria, and all I could find is also the same euphoria horrida pup half eaten. I don’t know what to do. I’m slowly moving my plants to my new house and I can only move euphorbias. Thank you for looking at my video handsome
