Quasar 1 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 When we moved to our new house and met the neighbours they mention that there was a few rat tunnels beneath a concrete base in our garden and running to theirs. We have since custom build our huge shed/court there which can house 50 ferrets, and have never seen any rats since ferrets moved in Quote Link to post
