Have you tried buying some lockable rat boxes? They allow the rat in thru a small hole front and back. Midway thru the box is the chamber where the poison goes.
No hedgehog can access poison but I know hh eat mice Ive seen this on my night camera.
I’ve found that rats go off to – tucked away- places to die. Also it’s worth buying the top of the range quick acting poison that professional pest controllers buy. Can’t remember name but it’s on Amazon. Big blue cubes.
I’ve learnt the hard way – having found rats indoors, in a wall & eating my cats food at night.
Awful, awful, awful
