I am currently trying the peanut butter with baking soda rat poison. I have set it out for 3 nights and all the bait has been taken each time. I don't know how long it is supposed to take to kill a rat, but I will keep it up for a week to see how it goes.
Let us know how it goes. I haven't seen any recently, but I don't doubt I have some rodents crawling around.

Did it work for you Henny?

I’m trying it too.
Different recipe though.
Using baking soda/corn meal/hot chocolate mix.

Seeing a few rats in the early evening and want to get on top of it.

They are so darn smart.
Set up a live trap yesterday baited with a tiny piece of Reece’s peanut butter cup thins and had one in there this morning!
But I’m ashamed to admit that he got loose when I tried to get him out. Dernit.
I’ll be much quicker next time.

Next door got their puppy which they’ll probably neglect just like the rabbits, and I had to ask them nicely to do some cleanup. If the smell of three rabbits in two hutches overpowers a chicken coop you know it’s bad.

Apologies for being absent a bunch this past week squatchers, currently dealing with some family issues.

Also cooper update: went to get the stitches out this morning and I was so proud because the one vet said he owed the other vet $5.
He was 100% certain coop would never make it two weeks without getting out of the cone of shame and biting out the stitches.

All stitches stayed intact.

He has to wear the cone for 4-5 more days then he’s a free dog again.
What a good boy! Hope all is well w/ you & that the neighbor rehomes the dog before something bad happens.

Question for you all. One of my Orloffs has what I think is a bit lingering umbilical cord. See the dark spot in the photo? Do I need to do anything or will it resolve itself?
Congrats & I have no idea, but good luck.
 
I’ve decided the buzz cut is the easiest way to manage his hair. He has so many cowlicks that growing his hair back out from the first buzz cut he got makes him look like a wild man.

I’m ready for him to be a big brother. I’m tired of being pregnant.
It'll be over before you know it. Are you guys all moved over now? Is the propane situation taken care of?

as far as I know there is nothing you can do
but I have had them blow out and lost the chick. I think the others pick on it, so you might want to seperate it.

I vote for separating him too for a day or two, and think it wouldn’t hurt to put some disinfectant on it to keep the germs off it and maybe dry it out quicker.
