This rat got into our house, we think she’s the mom rat of a rat family that lives in one of our retaining walls under our bird feeder. Long before she popped by for a visit indoors we named her Henrietta. She stayed inside a couple days before we got our hands on a few of these friendly little boxes for small fuzzy neighbors that need reminders that they are neighbors- not housemates. We set out a delicious snack spread of birdseed and a bit of our pet turtle’s food that she seemed to like. Within around 8 hours we found her hanging out in the box, and escorted her back to her house in the retaining wall.
