Home Forums Carers / rescuing a hedgehog Rats- how to stop them eating food Reply To: Rats- how to stop them eating food

#29604

I have rats and mice helping themselves to my hedgehog food as well.
Absolutely no way of stopping it.
I have live trapped rats in a cage trap before and released them in the countryside but you must never leave a cage trap set after you go to bed because they are just as capable of catching hedgehogs. You could try a rat cage trap inside a box with only a 3″ hole in it, thereby preventing hedgehogs getting in. Obviously spring traps are and absolute no no.
Good luck
