gnipper 6,531 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Does anyone have much joy using the cages? I've caught a few in the past using carrots but I've got one (maybe more) stubborn little tw@ at work at the moment and it's not interested in carrots or apples. Anyone tried anything else that works well or any tips? Cheers Quote Link to post

They might not be overly smart but they have an insane sense of danger. The few I have trapped were cages sprayed with apple juice and carrots for bait but they didn't come into the traps for a few days. 1 Quote Link to post

The soak up any smells off the rabbit and tand something about them being wooden and dark makes them more comfortable. Most people don't even bait em 1 Quote Link to post
