Also pretty sure a rat would be able to get through a hole a hog could get through. What on earth size rats do you have where you are Bethany Craker?! Hedgehogs are good at changing their shape to squeeze through surprisingly small gaps, but rats are pretty good at squeezing through small spaces, too.
Janedavidson, this is a link, which contains a list of other links where rats have been discussed in the past. You might find something helpful amongst that. But if you get a persistent rat, who also likes kitten biscuits, it’s very difficult to deter them. I had one who used to carry the kitten biscuits off somewhere. Not sure whether it actually ate them or not!
