[QUOTE="Toby, post: 207785, member: 1509"] I have an old farmhouse out in the country and discovered my first rat, caught it in my basement and one in my garage, lived here for 6 years now. So I set some traps and caught him but I do not know what kind it is. So far no more have shown up and I have lots and lots of traps set. I have heard it could be a wood rat, roof rat, or a Norway rat. Here are some pictures. Body is about 8 inches with a tail of about 7 or 8 as well. What is your guy's take on what kind because I am new to trapping an actual rat, used to trapping muskrats. Here are the pictures: [ATTACH=CONFIG]21626._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21627._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21628._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21629._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21630._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21631._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21632._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21633._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21634._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21635._xfImport[/ATTACH] After reading about rats I am really hoping this isn't a Norway...hoping it is just a wood rat. The other thing that really worries me is that I haven't had a mouse all winter which is exceptionally unusual because I normally have mice in my basement in the winters. I tried to take as many detail pics as I could but, like I said, I am in unfamiliar territory here. Hoping someone can tell me. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
