Rats attracted to alfalfa?

[_Kelley_]

Hi! My girls love it when I put a small flake of alfalfa in their run for them to dig through. I rake it up and clean it out after a couple of days. I don’t have a huge rat problem. I caught one last month and have seen no evidence since. Just wondering if the alfalfa will attract rats? I make sure there is no food in their run or coop at night. It’s a lot of work but worth it because the rodents have stayed away. Just wondering if anyone knows how desirable alfalfa is to rats or if this is a bad idea?

Chicken feed, straw, alfalfa, etc., etc. will attract rats.

Keep trapping!

Hoping for a nice rat snake over here.
