It's the fox shaggy rat that keeps disturbing me in my room, I have killed up to 8 now.
Hope they don't cause Lassa fever.

Lassa is usually spread by the multimammate rat.

Nothing to fear in that aspect.

But seriously, madam, you have to stop 'murdering' them. Maybe the shaggy rats want to make you a 'shaggy girl'. Who knows? sad
