    I was watching tv today showing a pest control guy. He was saying that rat poison tastes horrible but the rats can't taste it. He implied the poisoned rats would not be eaten by other animals because they taste so bad. So how much of a rat could say a cat taste without being poisoned too................

    Ampersand that is not a toad, it's a frog, and golden frogs are common. A toad does not hibernate in ponds, a frog does.

    And please make sure there are no cats or foxes in the area before you bait the rat, my dear cat caught a dying rat once, they take a while to die, it's a long and painful death for such an intelligent creature.... Please be responsible.
