So, I'm growing flax and wheat outside, and last night, I was sitting near the window and I saw something in our bird feeder. I thought it was just a squirrel but when I looked closer, I realized it was a rat/mouse. I'm not sure which. A few days earlier, our dogs had been in my garden and I thought it was just because they liked how it smelled but now I think they might of been in there because they smelled the rats. 

 

Do you think it's safe to feed luna sprays from my garden outside if rats were potentially in it?

* Disclaimer, I have only done little research on this*

I would say not, as a rat/mouse was potentially in it. The may have been carrying a disease and bitten the spray, I wouldn't risk feeding it to Luna.
Hope this helps,

The sprays are only sprouts. They sprouted two days ago, so they're like 1/2 inch tall. Do you think that would still be fine?

It depends, if you can tell there was days there, no. If there does not seem like there was, it's your call.
