I can't answer the question, but I'm posing another one. If you do find a poison for them, will the poison still be active in their body if another creature eats that dead nutria?

Reason for asking is that I used DeCon on mice that were in the pheasant pen, being very careful to ensure that the pheasants couldn't get to the DeCon. I did see a few birds walking around with a dead mouse in their beak, and I believe all of the pheasants ate some or all of the dead mice. All of the pheasants died as well, same symptoms as DeCon poisoning. I looked at the bait trays, and they were still unreachable by the pheasants.
