They ate my walnuts, multivitamins, vitamin B pills, white chocolate, and gummies late in the night. Commotion was all around. Action was occurring nearby to my bed. I was visited by rats. Luckily, I did not see them. Ignorance is bliss. Right?
I saw the evidence in the morning. Little droppings were everywhere. Up on a cabinet with a slippery wood surface, up on the other bed in the room, even next to my computer. I cleaned, I threw away all my precious nuts and vitamins, and I thanked the rats for not eating my dark chocolate (20 bars!).
Why not the dark chocolate? Not much sugar in them is my guess. The dark chocolate I eat is 85% cocoa and has very little sugar. I guess rats have a sweet tooth and opted for the Haribo gummies instead.
The next night, the rats came again. Searching, scouring, prancing about. But where was all the food? Gone....
The evidence was there though. I guess rats like to leave their mark.
I changed rooms.
No more rats (I think... again, ignorance is bliss).
Just more traffic noise, but I will take that over some hungry late night guests.
