merlina Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 i would say yes, especially if you've got no obvious problem with rats I do this occasionally, when I get home late, have been away overnight etc with no ill effects (I used to do it all the time, till I realised that it was attracting rats, so wouldn't advise it more than occasionally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoachedPlease Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I always leave the food and water out. I had a problem with slugs until I lifted it off the feeder off the ground. The rats haven't managed to chew through the chicken mesh..yet! Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
