DEVASTATED AND EXTEMELY PI**ED OFF!! (Rats)

LOL It def is a fighter that's for sure!! He gladly made it through the night and is doing very well.
I really hope it makes it through. I've grown very attached!
I did separate him from the rest and put a stuffed animal in his box which he snuggles against. I figured it wouldnt feel so alone and that it would also help keep it warm.

WOW what a strong little bird! I did that with a lone pheasant chick to keep her from getting lonely. Glad he's doing well!

Any sign if rats yet?

Them rotten buggers can JUMP! Not so much if there is 6" of water in the bottom of the bucket! (and a light coat of oil on the inside of bucket above water line!)

Best of luck with your little guy/gal. I had yo change my own thinking about pests in the last week. I have lost three hens and one is in isolation recovering from a 3 inch gash/ tare on her side due to a fox. Now its game on between them and me and I plan on winning.

Thank you everyone. He's doing well today also. His will to live is such an inspiration! We set rat poison out last night and the rats took it. I'll put some more out tonight and hopefully they will be a non factor soon!!

You are so right! It's crazy what lengths we will go through to take care of our babies. Human and animals alike. It's like my mommy instinct is on overdrive lol

I have never in my life been so relieved that any animal has died as I am today. The rats finally are gone. Found them today in my lanai. I finally have my lanai back!! I feel kinda guilty for feeling this good about it. I'm scared to put the silkies and bantam survivor back out there. I think I'm going to wait till this weekend and make sure I see no signs of any rats first. Thank You guys for all your support.
