i always use chicken or oxtail soup for rat bait . work's great..

[Guest hyperion]

does any one know of a sent atractor for rats?? ive been thinking about boiling up bits of female rats to see if i can make something but ive not been brave enough to try it yet!

rat's like other mammal's have scent gland's at the base of the tail. these are only visible during skinning 2 small yellow gland's about the size of a grain of sweetcorn. at the base of the tail around the arse. i skin stoat's and mink out remove the scent gland's put em in a jar pierce them so the musk comes out then i add a couple of table spoon's of cod liver oil. give it a stir ,put the lid on and stick it in the freezer. i bring it out when needed and use it as a draw on my tunnel trap's. i just use a pigeon's flight feather to spot it around trap entraces. work's great. i cant see why it wouldnt work on rat's. BUT who ya gonna get to skin the dirty focker's out. i'v skinned domestic rat's .but no way would i skin a wild un.

mixing oil essences or powdered spices (such as cinnamon) with flour and icing sugar.

that is a rub i got of a site to trap possums, i gave the idea to a mate when he wanted to trap the, and he lives next to a primaly school and every 5 seconds the trap would be set off with a rat in it, and out with his denning jrt

i dont mind skinning a wild rat! cant be any worse than a squirrel surely? hmmm i might try this thread in the trapping section!

[Molie1337 35]

wild rats are MUCH worse than squizzers!!! for starters i eat squirrels, but i wouldnt ever dream of eating a rat! filthy dirty beasts, i only ever move them with a stick or pliers!! plus these scent glands are right near the arse end - as in where the wiels disease is carried in there piss. you sick bugger!! put up pics of a skinned wild rat! dare u!! and then put pics up of the liver dialisis when u get the yellows!!!

[Guest hyperion]

im well aware of all the nasties that rats can carry but i reckon i might give it a go!

after all skinning a rat hasnt got to be neat like a rabbit or squirrel, all i need to do is chop out the bits i need!
