Hi. I'm Ace and i'm an alcoholic.
Ace says:
thats ratatonio. we had to evict him with extreme force as he wasn't paying his rent and he kept nicking food, when i say food, i mean like whole meals.
James says:
I honestly thought when I first saw this and there were no comments it was a cuddly toy and you just had a very convincing look on your face...how wrong was I?!
Ace says:
this is so not cuddly its almost back round the other side to being cuddly.....
alfie says:
dude you so have to be kidding me, who does he belong to? And I mean come on! That things a mutant!!
Great to see you moblogging again Stevo, youll be at the bday bash right?
that is so scary! ugh!
Twiglet says:
I know a thing or two about rats, great big, pampered overfed pet rats. But I've never seen anything like that, he's a monster!!
Ace says:
no, it can't be, its in my london kitchen. i thought it was a fruit bat to start with.
tip: if you think you have mice, don't leave advocados out. 6 of them will turn your mouse into ratatonio
wow, that HAS to be a record....
Take that NYC rats!!
Twiglet says:
Seriously, if that's a species of wild brithish rat or mouse, forget the avacados, that boy's been at the steriods.
His front legs don't look at all mousey or ratty though. Could he possibly be someone's escaped exotic pet?
Ace says:
nah, its not a pet, it's a good old english rat. basically thats what happens when you give a rat unlimited food. bastard.
FilbertFox says:
wow! And I thought the mice in our loft were bad, but that takes the biscuit (or the whole pack by the look of it)
Is it dead?
If it is how much poison did it need?!?
FilbertFox says:
i am currently trying to scare my mice away with soundwaves, with a little but not total success.
melissaamy says:
I'd be a ballsy rat too if I were that big! I bully the hell out of everyone!
Ace says:
whoa! no, we didn't have 20 of those fuckers in our house, miss pretty pants dosent live with us!! bit of a wires crossed situation... jesus, how big would your house have to be to cope with 20 ratatonios???!
Ace says:
p.s. we tried a humane trap. the rat couldn't even fit its nose inside. so we went with good old fashioned brutal murder traps. sucess!
melissaamy says:
Oh thank goodness! I see where I became confused, and sorry for that, but IF that were you, I would have moved from the town. Those rats are effing freaks of nature...you should have it stuffed and displayed at a museum of natural freak shows!
Ace says:
actually it's buried in the garden. i made a tombstone for it. it kinda earned my respect. think i'm gonna take a photo actually...
Twiglet says:
I appreciate how unpleasant it is for those who find themselves with unwelcome rodent lodgers but can I please urge you all not to use glue traps. They are barbaric and there are campaigns up and running to ban their sale. There are much more humane methods about that work. Anyone wanting details of the campaign or glue trap alternatives, "speak" to me on my Moblog and I'll point you in the right direction.
melissaamy says:
oh I hate those traps...We have never had a problem with critters as long as we have had cats, and even loned her to my parents once when they had a mouse issue...took care of that too, and she got the little ego boost she needed as a kitty AND natural selection struck again!
melissaamy says:
oh and I meant to say, I would love to see the tombstone when you get the chance...I don;t think my cat had the skills to take that beast down, so poison was probably the best best as anyone who challenged that thing might have lost a finger, or an arm

glue traps would not have worked on ratatonio. it may of distracted him temporarily. its all about the little nipper traps. or big nipper in this case
Ace says:
ahh ratatonio... it's been a while since i saw this picture and it still freaks me out
