Morning all, bit of an odd and slightly distasteful subject here but I am stumped!
So I have chicken and occasionally I'd get the odd rat show up, these get quickly dealt with and nothing for a month or so. Anyway the critters came back but I knew I had one somewhere as there were signs in the greenhouse from digging, I went out at night armed with my tx200 and red light, surely enough I caught his eyes dart back and forth to the bait, once he stopped for a nibble I pulled the trigger for a clean head shot and Mr rat was no more.
So after this I checked on the guy and he was definitely dead! The next day he was gone, no signs of the rat and no bait, do I have a zombie rat running around? No! A couple of days later I find a decomposing rat on the lawn, it looks like something had eaten him whole and regurgitated him back up. My question is what?? I have chickens so could it be a fox.
Sorry for such a long story for such a small question.
Regards

Rats eat each other,so if you shoot and leave, most times they will be gone by the morning, and no they ain't zombies .Rog

Re: Rat disappeared!
Found many of the shot rats chewed up then sat in the high seat
And the fox was picking up the rats.
Then back for more, found 2. Or 3 like up have described.
