So I know not everyone would find this a happy, but today I turned my heaps & three quarters of the way down the middle one I disturbed a rat on her nest. She belted out through one of the holes in the back into my huge pile of stuff that's too big to compost, leaving just one blind baby behind. I popped the baby through the hole and she grabbed it and ran off. Slowly I unearthed 9 more and she came back and collected each one off my hand. What a good mum. I left the third heap unturned as I guess that's where she'd gone.
Last spring a rat came out to see what threats I was putting on the heap & would take things like apple cores from me. Perhaps it is the same one?
For clarity, my heaps are about 50m from my house and 200m from anybody else so I am happy to share my space with them. I used to have pet rats and always found them to be fascinating!
