A pair of rats have been discovered abandoned in a gift bag near a poplar walking spot in Edinburgh.
The male rats, believed to have been pets, were well taken care of before being left, say the Scottish SPCA. The charity are appealing for information, saying it was "not the right way to give up an animal".
The rats were found on Coburg Street in the capital on a path leading to the Water of Leith. One is fully white in colour, and the other is white with a ginger head and tail.
