    Is it too late to try and rat proof this coop?

    I don't know how much they eat, but any amount is going to start the gas buildup inside them that they can't expel. I don't see why you couldn't mix it with peanut butter and use it that way. If you have any pets, whilst this isn't poison to them, I'd keep it out of their reach as otherwise...
