Ive had a great experience with cage traps got asked if i could remove a rabbit from the bosses walled garden where he did a bit vegetable gardening , so i appear one sunday morning with the lurcher and ferrets , There's a scrape under the gate where it got in so i says to the gardener fix that and problem solved after we get this yin . The lurcher scents it

under a box hedge takes off after it and slides on the shell path sending these shells flying over the box hedge im having great fun watching my dog course this rabbit up and down under in and out the hedges before the rabbit dives into a gap in the wall and im looking thinking sod that im no putting my ferret in there , So i pulled one of three catch alive traps i have quartered a carrot and set the trap next to the hole in the wall . Monday morning gets a call to see the landscape manager and im thinking im going to get chewed about the mess the lurcher made of the paths , And he says the boss found the rabbit in the trap this morning bob great catch he let it go in the field and your traps here

Can I ask how you use them then?

 

Because most posts here seem to find them rather limiting. I have used in a domestic garden with carrot as bait in/around trap - but mice seem to take them. Have used in fields with the traps set to catch rabbits as they run for home, but again limited success.

 

Would love some top tips Torquemada

Where you place them in relation to where the rabbits are moving around is key.

 

Place them in a line opposite hedge/ditch etc where they would be moving towards their feeding area.
