How to get rid of rats and mice without harming my rabbits.?

I have a shed out my back garden where i have 4 rabbit hutches. But the rabbits food has attracted wild rats and mice. I don't want them to bite the rabbits or urinate on their food so we want rid of them a.s.a.p. We also have pet mice in the shed in hamster cages so we can't use plug in's because it will affect them. So how can we get rid of them without affecting our other animals. Help!How to get rid of rats and mice without harming my rabbits.?
L.G. has one idea here's my others:


Raise your hutches off the floor by at least 2 ft and make sure the rats and mice have no access to climbable items.





Make sure your food and bedding is stored in air tight containers such as dustbins so they do not have easy access.





You can either get animal friendly traps that are live capture so you can let the rodents loose in a woodland area, but this must not be too close to your home else they will return, or you can buy traps such as the rentokil ones that have bait inside that is not granulated which the rodents will eat, they will then return to their nests to die.How to get rid of rats and mice without harming my rabbits.?
use dense fencing. enclose the entire building, run the fence 2 feet out from the perimeter, in a trench surrounding it then bury it. be careful with the access points, use doubled fences at the door.
Any type of trap instead of poison.


Make the food inaccessible to the unwelcome.


Make the area less like rat hotel %26amp; restaurant


Get the professionals in.


Three options really.
Duh! Rat/mouse poisen bait and traps. Glue traps work well for mice. Good old fashioned traps for rats. D-Con works as well as anything and it gets both. I buy rat poisen and the mice eat it too,
to deter the mice try putting moth balls around or under your hutches


away from the rabbits.
how will they get in ur rabbits huch dont u have a wired front?? u could get rat food poision they eat it then die or a rat trap maybe!!!
