Ive caught a load of frogs....also snakes, mice, voles, alsorts of things , and all in properly set traps either in man made tunnels or natural sites. Nowt you can do to stop frogs etc going in, but I would guess you have your traps set very sensitive, which is also how i like to have mine! Try setting them less sensitive, so that they need a heavier animal to stand on the plate to set it off. But, you then need the larger target animal to go through in the first place.

 

The fact that you havent caught any stoats/weasels, is maybe down to the position and appearence of the tunnel, but you would have to expain better, or post some pics for that to be made clear.

 

One thing you have gained from these accidental captures is FREE BAIT!!

Ive caught a mouse in my fenn trap whilst it was set for a squirrel.

Yeah avoid the crap from the far east like the plague, but there is a company that make 'springer' traps, i have as many of these as i do 'fenn' traps and belive me, they are just as good, in quality and use.
