Prepping a flower bed. Needed compost so we had to evict the compost rats.
Was a bit stressful, wife cried a lot at the though of hurting them. We carefully disassembled the mound, two kids were too frightened to move so we had to carefully remove them to the rock pile mum booked it into. They were old enough to fend for themselves though, just obviously a stressful sitch for them.
Anyway they were so cute, and I wish we could have adopted them rather than risk them dying due to their home being deconstructed. Unfortunately wild rats don’t do well in captivity, so I hope they manage to find a new shelter.
New compost pile is having its rat proofing upgraded, they’re resourcesful critters though so we’ll see if it’s enough.
