Rats may fill bait boxes with stones as a behavior to create a barrier or to obstruct access to food sources. This instinctive action can stem from their natural tendency to hoard or protect resources. Stones may also provide a sense of security or stability in their environment. Additionally, it may be a way to deter predators or competitors from accessing their food supply.
