Babysitting .... Rat attacks baby !
    #10517649 - 06/16/09 03:00 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

We hear about pests bothering our projects ..... mostly gnats getting into our monotubs ....

How about a rat getting into a monotub ?!

To make matters worse, it's not my monotub.  It's justme's that I am babysitting .... and he has accused me before of being a bad babysitter.

His monotub and one of mine are outside under a high deck.  A while ago I threw some soaked WBS outside .... the birds didn't touch it but I saw a rat munching on it.  Well .... later I noticed some of the polyfill had fallen into his tub.  And when I looked it was obvious that something had pushed the polyfill into the tub as it climbed in .... numerous divits were eaten out of the substrate surface.

I set a couple of mouse traps with peanut butter .... I thought they might be on the small side ... but would really whack a rat's head or neck and should do the job.  I had fantasies of getting a big rat and posting the pictures here ....

Whack !  I hear the trap spring .... but somehow the rat doesn't get caught ....

Good news is the rat doesn't bother the tubs again.  Bad news ... the tub gets green just as it is beginning to pin.

So .... I had to break the news to justme ... that I suck as a babysitter ... and a rat attacked his baby and ate some chunks out of its face before it is lost to contamination. 

He asks, "How's your tub doing?"  I say, "ok."

So .... I am feeling bad about my tub ... even though I should be feeling good.

Haha thats awful, but he should have taken the precautionary steps by putting traps near the tub, it is outside under a deck after all.

You should hook him up with a few for sympathy purposes at least.  Show the love meng.

Yes ... the surviving tub blew up ... in a good way ...





The largest fruits are 11".  Total wet weight was just under 5 lbs ... 2,205 grams.  Amazing for an 18 gallon monotub.

Sorry the rat messed your baby up ... MAN.
