No need to cover them in any way.......sometimes a few sprigs of foliage can help disguise them from two legged thieves if you are setting them where other folk have access.

Do you have to check these traps in a 24hr period?............

Right I mean for the rabbits mine is well hidden but will the rabbits still go in ?

What is the advantage in your case of using a cage trap over a body grip, Fenn or snare? How is your success rate affected?

Rabbits like to have a clear view around them when feeding.......so the more open the cage the better in my opinion. They are constantly on the look out for predators....!

I use Fenns, Imbrs's, snares and bodygrips as each situation dictates. On this particlur contract descression is the key word ( a golf club with a lot of "sensitive" lady members) a squealing snared or trapped rabbit would cause unwarrented attention. In areas with less public access I would block trap using Fenns and Imbra's. The catch rate is slower with the cages but in the long run they are about the same. On larger farming contracts......if the conditions are right, I would much prefer to install a snare line.

I would check the cages at least 10 times a day whether I had to or not...LOL..!
