Default Rats in the compost bin

Maybe it was just searching for food? As long as you don't put any meat
leftovers in there, as mentioned elsewhere on the thread, rats shouldn't
be a problem.

As for nesting... They probably wouldn't like it if you keep adding
stuff on top, or rummaging with a pitchfork, or even watering from time
to time.
