    Lol, at 1:33 one wise guy thinks he's gamed the mechanics. Sorry!
    They are intelligent, teachable and observant; but hungrier than bright. Can also tell you, won't be a minute after first one starves, cannibalistic behavior ensues.

    I have a metal mesh rat trap. If I dont drown the rats within an hour or 2 they just chew their way out.
    I cant see that plastic bucket lasting very long.....
