Hiya Terry,

To the best of my knowledge, this is true. We never give our girls anything carbonated.

It does seem a pretty cruel death though...

To get rid of wild rats, I read in Mother Earth
magazine some years ago that putting out bowls of Coca
Cola for them to drink would do it. Rats have no
burping mechanism (the article said), so when they
drink it, it kind of blows them up inside. If you make
it diet soda, it will kill them even if they don't
internally burp to death (unless they have the sense
to avoid it).
