It is an unlucky omen to have a rabbit run across your path. It is the sign of good luck to have a rat jump out of a drawer that you have opened. Keep in your pocket the left front foot of a rabbit that you have killed and it will bring you good luck. Kill a rabbit in the light of the moon and hang one of its feet about your neck for good luck. Kill for luck the first rabbit you see in the winter.
Moles are blind.
Rabbits are not good to eat until after the first snow. Rabbits have young every month except February. Rats will desert a doomed ship. Rats will not remain in a cellar where there is a mole. Scatter peppermint sprigs about the house to keep away mice.
