Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / November 2005Oops!
I completely forgot to post about this! Smudge turned up about a day after my last post. My father was out in the yard working on one of our cars, and looked up to see Smudge sitting on the concrete step outside one of the barns, looking right at him! A minute or two of calling her and she eventually wandered over to him! From the smell of her, she was living in the hay barn for two days! She was very hungry, and a bit hyper for a few days afterwards - didn't like being held for more than a couple of seconds, but has settled down since and is pretty much back to normal now. So all's well that ends well! Oh, and they've given the shredded paper a mix reception - Smudge tries to pull it out of the house, Willow tends to just fall asleep on it!

Relieved doesn't really cover it. Still, I'd like to know how she got out of the house in the first place... I'm 99% certain she didn't slip out when I opened the back door for a couple of seconds, so the only other route would be for her to make her way upstairs, under the floorboards (which she could do from one place upstairs only), down one of the pipe conduits (which run from the attic down to below floorboard level downstairs), then out the air vent at the back of the house, walk right the way around the outside, across the yard, then into the hay barn... We have a pretty large house here, it used to be a farm, built back in 1776. Solid brick construction, solid floors in places and floorboards in others, and not many places where a rattie could get through. Quite some trip for a l'il rattie, especially seeing as it was near freezing outside for those few days! Still, she's back now and loves her scritches more than ever. :) Dave -- (remove spamblock or reply to group) > Oh yes. Relieved doesn't really cover it.
