Really, by defra? 

Maybe if I contact them? 

If you just wanna see them try these guys as they have them in a pen for pest control training, I saw them when i did the new rodenticide licence training.

Give them a quick call see if they still have them. The brown rat pen is quit interesting too.

All the best

Yeah I know about church farm. Just wanted to write about black rats in my book but was hoping to speak to either a pestie or someone watching a wild colony to make it relevant. If they have gone they have gone and I'll do it from referencing old accounts

You could always take a holiday to Lambay Island. Bring a few traps along too

20 odd years ago we did some jobs in liverpool for the big R but im unsure if they are still there.

They were pretty rare back in the 90s and were limited to a few areas.

Goodluck in your Quest
