I read that in a horticultural Journal a few days ago Pen,I have seen some biggies
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

If you have a look at the picture I think that rats been placed in there for the photograph,not even the largest pitcher plant could kill and dissolve a full grown rat as they are arboreal and could easily climb out,pitchers rely on drowning their victims like small insects,that rats got its head sticking out,no way did it drown and the plants juices dissolve a creature over time.

I do doubt penny because I know a little about plants and a little about rattus norwegicus
Pitchers dissolve their victims normally carapace and chitin insects slowly over a matter of days or weeks,look at the rat in the pic,its been placed there facing outmaybe,just maybe,the odd tiny rat could fall in but no way Jose does that plant eat rats on a regular basis

Rats are INCREDIBLE
I once went to the Karni Mata rat temple in Bikaner just to see them,I was fascinated by them as a kid,they are arboreal and predatorial,if you leave a dead rat in a trap and theres no other food source around they will resort to cannabalism

This is what you need for the farm pen,guaranteed to keep the rat population down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGRN39oifsE
But this is what the professionals use,watch it to the end,the rest is just pumping the mix into the burrowshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XM8DZRO34o

I don't think it will work Tawi. When hubby was in Pinas, he tried Rat trap, sticky and wired trap, he poisoned them but still we have rats (our pets). He caught some and drowned into the water
I found different rat killers here. It's aqua blue in colour. I think that is more effective. Rats may like imported food from UK who knows.

why, rats will gnaw thru anything, even thru my thick plastic bin at work, wood, lead, even concrete.they can cause great destruction with their powerful teeth and jaws. so i would have thought it wouldn't take long to get thru a plant
