 Missing rat!!!

ok so i know all the usual tricks on catching them and i usually can...but, this one seems to be very clever!! i am pretty much waiting for him to show. hes only escaped once before when he was younger and was so scared that he bolted right under the chair and froze! i got him with no prob.

the thing is, having kids, the front screen door gets left open. i am constantly telling them to keep it closed with all the animals and FLIES!!! lol but, none the less... so, do you think he would go outside? even with all the other animals (dogs and cats!) we have?

Socrates:


thanks for any answers or ideas :) M-

Some rats love to be outside for some fresh air. Yours might have gotten outside so check under bushes and tight spaces. Look around your house too, though, such as tight corners, under furniture, and anywhere else he might be. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
