I stopped feeding squirrels and birds last year becasue rats came and
ate the sunflower seeds - i have 2 questions - do rats bother with
peanuts? and Is there some kind of see i can put out that will not
attract rats?

thanks

Been watching a wood mouse eating peanuts through the wires of a mesh
feeder suspended from a fence this morning.
Very pretty in the deep snow but what damage to the garden can a wood
mouse do apart from eating the occasional seeds?
Regards,
Eddie

Eat the occasional beetroot!...they like insects too though not snails or
slugs, but caterpillars are a delicacy to them!....be thankful if you see
mice, it means there aren't many rats about (rats hunt mice).
