Hi i'm no expert and people on here can correct me as i dont really use cage traps for rabbits but what i have been told about these traps is to put them on a run were the rabbits are regulary stationary grazing and were a large pile of the rabbit droppings can be seen and also putting two cages back to back so the rabbit either way it runs on its usual run enters your trap, and also i was told if the one cage catches swap it with the cage that is on the back of it as the rabbit is likely to have urinated and faeced whilst in the cage and other rabbits will think this is normal and then end u

Set some more traps yesterday afternoon after discovered another mole had started to work near one of our tees, so set me talpex traps again and was eager to see this morning the result, upon checking my traps i could see one had been set off i pulled it from the ground for the mole to be still alive and the trap had just pinched it on the nose must of set it to lightly but, i humanely dispatched it with my little priest i take just encase. Below is the picture of the mole, my course manager is really happy i'm keeping in touch with the mole population as am i. I have just got a few question

Having mixed success at catching moles on the golf clourse were i work despite the useful help from many people on this site, i decided that i would purchase some of the talpex traps from the game fair, and have been dying to see some moles show presnce at work so i could try them out.
