rats...how i find it ironic that i spend such time killing them off but ordering them in the mail. the beak i havent encountered a situation like that before but the rats i have. my outside juvie sulcata setup is sort of similar to yours and the first time i saw a rat in there i flicked the light on and saw it hide in some grass in the pen. i happened to have two of my good buddys at the house and we all scrambled to find what ever makeshift wepons we could that were close. we had like a fishing net, tennis racket, and i had a cane. the differance in the two setups is that mine instead of being in the ground is around 4 ft off the ground. so we tried to net the sucker and god as my whitness that rat as i was swinging wildly made a giant leap out of the pen landed right on my face and ran right down my body! talk about give you the chills!!! so anyway i setup some of thoes good ol fashoined rat traps with peanut butter and dog food and got him the next night and it was a bloody one! someone told me a long time ago that rats have poor eyesight and almost always follow a wall so chances are the same rat is getting into your pen, chances are he follows the wall around it to get in, chances are he likes peanut butter.
