what would rats like to eat in their traps?

cheese

really?! or is that just in the movies
cats really like cheese, did you know? give them cheese, cuts out the middle man

I don't believe rats like to eat anything in their traps

oh yeah? I suppose they FORCE themselves to eat it

Ocean may I borrow your chair?

PANDURITO said:

sit down and LISTEN TO ME instead of beating me over the head, I already took ibuprofen and paracetamol for a headache

Sorry

As far as I know and unless your rat stars in Ratatouille, rats are NOT what you'd call gourmets.

So basically that means they'll eat anything you put in their way

Hope it helps and your headache disappears

they don't eat peanut butter again after the first 3 times we caught one, it is like they worked it out that they will die if they touch it.
I was hoping someone would know something that is the right consistency for the rat to set the trap off.

Tonight's dinner leftovers should do the trick

sausage and noodles? worth a try

oooh!!! while I have you, is there a spanish dish with tomato and capsicum (red peppers ) in a pan where you crack some eggs into it, and grill with a slice of spicy salami or chorizo on top of each egg? I have it in a spanish cookbook which is called Flaming Eggs in english.

I'll try to find it out. Those are basic ingredients of a tapa you'd find at any bar but I don't know if it's a dish with a name. Sorry

Chorizo Salami That's Italian

I used pepperoni last night
I have to use what is available you know!

Pepperoni
That's a good substitute


Next time tell the master to save some for the rats

he didn't know there was leftovers

but I got mad at him tonight for eating the pepperoni stump I was going to cook something with it

chocolate...they love chocolate

Dog or Cat food

works every time

make a little balloon pouch out of plastic wrap, filled with peanut butter. Poke holes in it with a toothpick and put that on the trap. That way they have to actually pull it to get it. That's the trick.

chocolate.

they are totally over peanut butter.

I will definitely try chocolate! I bet they like Nutella!

and dog food, not that we have a dog

Poor rats! We always used peanut butter. But cat/dog food sounds like a good idea.

And having worked in a book warehouse, apparently the spines of hardcover books will work as well!

electrical cables too, one would think!

This may be a good excuse to get a cat.
