Yup, if you had a pet rat, that is what you feed them.
We had a bird feeder for a long time and never saw a rat, until the
night I took a 2 pound Norway off the feeder with my .22
Then we started watching and there were lots of them coming around
late at night.


In all the years we've lived here, I've seen a couple of mice outside,
but never a rat, and I spend a lot of time outdoors working in the yard.
I'm not saying there aren't any out there. When the floods pop on
because of critter movement and I look outside, the critter(s) typically
are foxes, raccoons, possums, and, in daylight, groundhogs, rabbits,
squirrels, and at dusk, deer. Twice in all these years, a mouse made the
mistake of getting into the house somehow, and in both instances, they
were caught and dispatched by our cats.

You must be proud of your omniscience.
