It might be a little mouse coming in from the back of the trap :)
Attachment 115593 watch out super rat
is that a kiwi trap
To be far those plastic pyramid compost bins are a hopeless creation regardless of their rat attracting properties. I have got one to and they are useless for composting. Worms disappear out of them, they get cold, get uneven wet patches and are hopeless when you want to turn the compost. Despite many attempts I could never trap a rat in my bin - bastards seem to dig / flick crap over the trap. Resorted to poison under the veranda, much as I dislike it.
Nar it’s all the grain around here! They get pretty well feed! A chicken farm near here has sheds on sleds. They move them once a year and dragging them out after setting up rabbit nets and have a pack of jack Rüssels let lose. Not unusual for them to get 500 from each shed. A big pheasant shoot up the road goes through over a ton of poison a year, more economical to buy and place poison than lose there feed to the rats.
