Understanding Rat Behavior and Diet Preferences
Rats, as opportunistic feeders, have a varied diet but show a particular preference for fruits, including lemons, due to their high nutritional content and water.
Fruits emit strong, sweet scents as they ripen, which can attract rats from a considerable distance. This attraction is not limited to lemons but extends to a wide range of fruits, such as oranges, apples, and berries, often found in domestic gardens or within homes.
