Rats tales ..
NEVER pick up a dead rat by its tail ... it will almost certainly be covered in urine and could lead to the deadly Weil's Disease. These scary rodents aren't incontinent - that's an urban myth - but they're forever marking their territory and their tails get covered in urine as a direct result.
If you have to pick up a rat - like I did the other day when I found a dead one in the hen run - grab it by the scruff of its neck. And if you do come across a live one do what I also did last week: run like hell in the opposite direction and find a bloke who can sort it!
