Rats!!! hurrry help!!!

[CapricornFarm]

The diseases they carry mostly are carried in their fur, like fleas etc. Babies are just little bags of meat to chickens. I wouldn't leave the nest, mama may move them. Get rid of them while you can. Flush them down the toilet if you don't want to feed them to the chickens.

If you don't want to feed them to the chickens, flush them down the toilet or freeze them.

Oh goodness -- the picture of the rats & the baby -- I am so creeped out now!!!

Definitely flush them! Do not put your chickens and family at risk!!!

Toss them in the woods and let nature take its course.If they were older you would not hesitate. I know how it is as I often allow babies of certian species to survive.Being so young they will not survive.You could freeze them so they don't get eaten alive.You can trap mom and babies and relocate them. A lot of hassle for a rat,but I know my own kids would make me do it.

I agree get rid of the babies before she has a chance to move them. You will regret not getting rid of them now while you have the chance. They'll be shelling out their own babies before you know it if you don't.

I would definitely destroy the miniature disease carriers and while you are doing that i will be calling child protective services on the parents of the child in the picture. Anyone got any leads?

I think that picture is probably from India. They have a temple where they feed the rats milk and of course don't believe in harming them.

Quote:
They're at the marble temple of the rat goddess, Karnimata, in Bikaner. There are an estimated thirty thousand rats in residence - they're drinking milk supplied by the temple.

(I bet there aren't any chickens nearby!)

Let the chickens kill them, and move the mother rat somewhere really far in the woods.

Whack 'em with a shovel.
