[QUOTE="regolith, post: 879670, member: 9267"] ...and the resulting biodiversity. Got home late from town and went straight to the cow shed to feed the thirteen youngest calves that are still on milk. They were waiting at the gate of course... and rats had chewed open six of the teats between the two milk feeders since this morning. :mad: :mad: :devil2: It's not the first time this week I've had to replace rat-damaged teats. Brought the feeders to the house after use, and 4 four-inch nails and the knife I'd sharpened to a dangerous gleam to remove the destroyed rubber teats, got the out-sized icecream container out of the freezer and heated the nails and knife with a candle to push them into the plastic. My new rat-treat-station is ready to go. The culprit (if there was only one) had been darting around my feet the whole time I was filling the feeders with milk. [/QUOTE]
