wrap something around the base of the tree that they cant climb over, providing the tree isn't too close to other trees or power lines (rats love to travel by power line). Maybe an inverted cone of some sort, but those little bastards are damn resourceful. Electrified wire mesh yeah!!!

Put out traps but I do feel sorry for the squirrels and kitty cats so I would`nt do that neither. Don`t know unless you cover it with a large wire mess cover....

When I was in debtors prison in Burma, the rats would sneak in and try to eat our fingers and toes when we slept.
We would take turns staying awake. One guy wouldn't go to sleep and would chase them away.
Sit it the tree and go "Whoop! Whoop! Yah! Yah!"
and wave your feeding dish at them or use a bamboo stick.
Put a fake owl in the tree.

that's time for a vet visit. weight-loss in any small animal, like rats, is a huge challenge. Prey animals conceal signs and indications of ailment till they're very, very unwell. the very undeniable reality that she has lost weight shows a severe concern that desires to be addressed with the help of a vet. no one on the following can allow you to know what's inaccurate with your rat. we are no longer vets :) sturdy success on the vet.
