I have a creep feeder in the shed for weaned calves . It's kept reasonably full all the time . Last night while up with the dog he caught a rat in the manger part of the feeder and one got away . Next he was jumping up and going mad by the hopper . I thought there might be one in the hopper but couldn't see how . I lifted the lid up and there was about 20 in there . The lid is sealed so how on earth did they get in there .
Would they burrow up through the feed ?
It wasn't a pleasant experience as they were jumping out and 2 ran up my arm !!
Does anyone else have this problem .
I cautiously opened the lid this morning and there was no sign of them having been there .
