"A clump of prickly pear cactus is like a five-star restaurant to a number of small rodents that rely on it for their diet. Certain kinds of rats, mice, gophers and ground squirrels eat prickly pear (Opuntia spp.) pads, fruits and seeds, and as well as find shelter and protection among the spiny, thickly growing plants. Some rats and mice rely on the water stored in the succulent plant tissue as a fluid source. Rodents help distribute prickly pear seeds by depositing them in their feces after eating the fruits."

"Birds of prey are famous for feeding on rodents. Hawks and falcons hunt by day, and owls typically hunt by night. Owls are especially dangerous to rats because they hunt at the same time that rats forage for food." https://www.automatictrap.com/blogs/news/5-natural-predators-of-the rat#:~:text=Birds%20of%20Prey,that%20rats%20forage%20for%20food |
