I have had many feeders over the years and yes, the rats are very much attracted to easy pickens. Whether it be a squirrel or a rat the way to keep the critters from visiting your feeder is 1) to use distance so that they can not swing onto or jump to the feeder and 2) to use some kind of baffle so that they cannot climb on or climb up to the feeder. I have the Sky Cafe feeder and the Sky Cafe baffles and have had success with feeders that had varmints visit and then not when the baffle was added. Don't give up!
