Mine won’t go in a bucket and one I caught in the live hav-a-hart trap was as large as a NYC rat.

I guess if they get that large then may a Havahart trap may be needed.

I used these on large raccoons that became pests.

Rats are awesome pets, they're smart and they're interested in pleasing their owners like dogs, but not as needy some dogs can be.

Ah - as pets, that's quite different and miles away from feral street rats.

I'd prefer a pet rat that's terrier sized, personally.

Just for you.

Oh jeez. I feel like perspective is making that rat look bigger than it really is. It links to a story with a Gambian Giant Rat killed in NYC, they're pretty big.
