There is little you can do to stop rats. They are rarely deterred by anything – mint may work sometimes but I have a rat run that comes up in a patch of mint – so don’t bank on it
They will eat anything and the strong smell of wet cat food is going to attract them and other animals
Most cat food doesn’t have enough fish in it to cause any issues for hedgehogs and this advice has been discontinued for years. Most cat and dog food has fish derivatives in it
