I am VERY upset. I have a very nice, 200 dollar mini fridge, that I use in my closet to keep the kids from over-eating things like string cheese, chocolate chips, etc.


Well, now I know why my daughters cat was basically LIVING in my closet.

Apparently, rats moved into the house after the big rain storm we had and all the flooding. The little buggers ATE MY MINI FRIDGE. RUINED THE ENTIRE THING. Ate through metal, plastic, a drawer, and the back elements.

Wow, that's crazy!! I'm sorry that you are having to deal with it. We find peanut butter works the best! Peanut butter with seeds mixed in.

We had rats move into our garage, and they ate the wiring in our front loading washing machine.

We moved. We've been keeping the rats out of the house and coops, but they decided to eat the wiring in one of our cars - the wiring to the battery. How do you put traps in car engines?

One way to deter rats from places is to spread some
Cat feces there, or put the cat litter box, and not forget to "refresh " it!

Pretty sure I just got my first DUCK egg!!! Don't tell the local duck hater, though. Don't wanna traumatize him!!! :p

It's larger than my big brown sex link eggs, so i'm 99% sure it's a duck egg. LOL it was also covered in mud, and in the duck area.

You haven't moved recently, have you? At one point you & your daughter were living in the house & your brother(?) was staying in a travel trailer, and you were having to dispose of most of your birds.

No, we were able to move my brother out, and by signing up for 4H, we were allowed to keep all my HENS. I still can't have roosters, but I am rooster less in all my grown up pens finally, but I"ve started hatching again and I"m about ready with a new batch of roos to re-home! I've been here only 4 years, and the washer issue was a few months before we moved out of the old place. The car was last month.

Shallom Benny!!!

I do have cats, I suppose I can sprinkle some of the dirty litter out there...not sure I want the actual FECES, but stinky litter might work.
