How are they looking?  Pretty scraggly?

All my rats looked good. Water dropped dramatically over night. More then half of my colonies were out of the water. I am hoping that was why my numbers were low. Looking forward to tomorrow's check.

I have seen that a few times but they sure seem to work better when they are wet.

Was that baited?

 We've caught lots like that as well. Cute little guys when they're all dry. Almost feel bad moving the trap to deeper water. Until they try and bite your finger off!

They ever getcha?  Ooh-whee does that hurt   :bash:

I pulled up a colony that had three rats in it.  One of them apparently was not dead yet.  It bled for like two hours.

Haven't had a live one get me, but got a tooth under my finger nail while skinning. That did not feel good :chuckle:
