Dog is a rescued throw-a-way, mostly Red Heeler, now an SRD
As to RATs, well those buggers ate through (completely through) the romax wiring this house had before we bought our house... definitely they can go through a mere coconut. We do get the holes in our citrus fruit on the tree, and some of them have the tell tale 2 scrape marks of the rats incisors, so you may want to look closely at the the nuts to see what gnaw marks are around the hole... dogs will leave incisor scrapes that are much wider and pointier that the rats close set chisel type gnaw marks...
