Awww that rat is beautiful we live rural too and see rats all the time, they dont bother me one bit, they are only annoying when they are in our barns!

We have this kind of rat too - unfortunately my kids love watching them so they have evaded vermin control measures.......... so far

We see loads of squirrels about, we have about 100m of hazelnut trees/bushes down one side of our drive and they are always coming along nicking them later in the year, plus my dogs nick them too

Will have to offer them on here seems a waste for the squirrels to eat them all!

I lose all the cob nuts to the dratted squirrels, but if it was hazelnuts I'd be out there myself with an air rifle, guarding the nuts! :drool:

I dont like hazelnuts! maybe i should collect a load one they come through and offer them on here, see if anyone local wants them? better than going to waste!

Oh hazlenuts I may have to try growing them although I have a squirrel so he may take the lot.
