Insights into rats' diet

One morning, our mamma came back from kitchen excited to tell us some new things she had just discovered. She said that she found in the kitchen some signs of a rat's visit! Interestingly enough, it seemed that the rat had been a desperately hungry one, as it had snacked on our soap, which we keep in kitchen for washing hands. Mamma showed us the tiny marks of rat's teeth on the soap. We kept on wondering, if the poor animal survived after such a soapy breakfast...

Later on, when mamma started to look through the dishes in the kitchen, she noticed that the rat had snacked also on the side of her wodden cooking spoon. Can you believe that? Why in the world would it want to eat THAT??? May be there was still some smell (or taste) of food in it? What do you think?

All in all, we concluded that in hunger rats are ready to go for anything, which comes in their sight. We just hope that they don't reach us in our bedroom, when we sleep!!!
