So we seem to have an influx and our cat keeps on catching them! Our neighbours garden is a mess and v v overgrown, so perhaps coming from there?

Thanks all!

We have caught some in traps over past few days.

Rats are extremely good climbers. They're talented animals, that's why they do so well - it's a pity they're potentially destructive and spread diseases.

Disclaimer: I know they are pests and carry diseases but lookit the little climbing one! So cuteGrin

I had pet rats up until a few years ago and they are insanely clever. More like little dogs.

Glad you’re getting it sorted. Beautiful creatures but they are vermin and can cause huge problems if they get indoors.
