Yes you can, you did it! And yes, that cutie is a rat.
They do have cute little faces. I used to watch one that sat on my bird table, he was cute too, the way he delicately held and nibbled on seeds. I liked him.

Rats usually are fairly cute, as long as they aren't mangy or wet. I mean, they basically just look like squirrels with a shaved tail, and most would agree squirrels are cure.

Destructive in the garden and the possibility of Weils disease, I would do all you can to deter them.

Thanks all.
He hangs around my daughter’s new garden and she sent me the photos asking if I knew what it was.
i was confident that you clever people would be able to help. Thank you!
Glad it’s going to be her problem to deter/get rid of him.
