The rat has a right to feel cheated ... |

Caught in a DOC200 trap outside the compost bin. The tail appeared very pale on both the top and bottom sides, normally R. norvegicus is darker on the top. |

I think the camera movement, in the first animated sequence, is the rat checking out the camera having just circled right around the trap. The sequence:

WhatDomestic Cat (Felis catus)Observertony_willsDescriptionDecided to put two infrared cameras on rat trap to observe rat interaction. But bait is of great interest to the neighbours cat, who rearranges the lighting instead ;-(. (Now that I have two cameras set up the trap is set so just as well it can't get in - or maybe not ;-) |
