OK Update on Nicodemus (My name for the rat)
We think he has moved out of the house. We took so long deciding what to do about him that we think he just left. My mother cleaned out the pantry where he was staying and she found nothing, but she put a trap there. Apparently he had chewed his way through a couple boxes and some other stuff. We have two traps out now in case he comes back. I hope he doesn't as they are not no-kill traps
. Hopefully he stays away... hopefully he didn't just go to the neighbors.
