Would you believe this...?

A rat could take the lid off a pot of kevin bacon and steal the lid and also steal the hoof oil brush? The lid and brush have completely vanished and there are lots of scratches in the kevin bacon (maybe it liked the taste). No one has been in there, i left it there last thing last night and this morning it was like that! Still can't believe a rat would take a hoof oil brush though or take the lid off and take it! No other explanation unless anyone else has got one?

Uuuuugghhhh!!! Gross gross gross. I hate them. They will steal anything. There is prob a rat party going on with the brush as the 'pig roast'.

a friend of ours bought some rat bait that came in a plastic tub . a few days later he discovered that the had holes in the lid where the rats had tried getting in. suicidal rat

lol! I've had things disappear and found them 6 months later, in shreds, as part of a mouse nest in the hay bales. That's how I lost the thinner inserts from my prolite pad, little buggers!

I can believe that is a rat! we used to be on a yard that had a massive rat infestation that they would do nothing about, they ate through another girls thick plastic feed bin to get to her feed, they didnt just eat a little hole though, it was half the bin!

I agree with barneykins- the brush was probs their pig roast!!

My dog was very interested in a pot of Kevin Bacon someone was using on the yard the other day - I concluded it must be full of tasty animal fat or suchlike!

What is a pot of 'kevin bacon' ??

 

[Archangel]

I thought I had a mouse living in my car and this was confirmed when a liquorice allsort that had been lying in the front footwell turned up in the boot! Little blighter did loads of damage to the electrics.

Furthermore, I keep one horse at a chicken farm and you have to walk down an alley with a gate at the end. When it is dark it is advisable to stamp your feet to clear the rats out before entering. I kept telling my OH to do this and he thought I was mad. The other day he came tearing out followed by a couple of rats. Hilarious.

Had a tub of rat bait - they chewed the lid off, tipped the tub over & made off with the bait & it STILL DIDN'T KILL THE BU**ERS !!!

"Kevin Bacon" is a brand of hoof dressing. It has a particularly strong smell.

I expect the rat couldn't help himself! I think the regular KB smells lovely. Maybe buy the other version next time. The tar version. Now that smells flipping revolting. No self respecting rat would want to touch that!

I put rat bait down in the hay barn and left a new tub with the lid on the next day there was a hole in the side and most of the bait had gone.

 

[Booboos]

My dogs are obsessed with KB. If I look away for a second they eat it all up (yuk!). So maybe rats like it as well? Weird about the lid and brush though!

Little menace. We had one in the cellar at the pub I used to work at. He chewed through the wall. No matter how much rat bait we put down he wouldn't die. Everytime I went in there he would be sat there, named him Ronald in the end, until he fell in a bucket of water and drowned. RIP Ronald.
