rabbit cage trapping

[froese11 1]

I've got a few cage traps out baited with apple. I havent been able to get anything for almost 2 weeks and there are a lot of rabbits around. I was wondering if the abundance of natural foods (such as flowers from the garden) would deter them from coming in the trap. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Any reason you chose apples rather than carrots? Are the cages placed where the rabbits are travelling? Is the bait being refreshed daily?
