just been into shed to get some food for the rabbit, only to find the bag all chewed up and not a lot of rabbit food left! So had to make a dash out to the supermarket in the mini. They are destroying other things like carseats and plastic containers, and it looks like they like wotsits, theyve been munching away at them, lol

however i need to get rid of them as their just causing absolute carnage, it looks like the been in my toolbox, theirs *melon* from them in their, lol, and theyve been nesting in an old shoebox, theyve been chewing a worktop leg as well, lol.

Gf says i cant use mousetraps or poison, and must not hurt them, so any ideas how i can get rid, if they werent causing carnage then i wouldnt mind them nesting their, id even feed them bread, and keep them as pets, lol

you need to get some poison, the type that dehydrates them and soaks up all the fluid they drink

this way they dont die in ur shed etc so gf wont no
just put it in lil pots near wer there eating now and take away all other source of food or bedding etc so anything there chewing on

Get a rescue cat as they are more likely to be a good mouser, then it's not your hurting them. It's just nature.
