live catch rabbit trap..

[maty j 6]

looking to make a live catch rabbit trap that costs as little as possible. allso needs to be able to catch the little 'uns. ve got a steel rat trap that ive had a young rabbit in but they cost too much to be using. im looking for something that could get the 1/4 grown ones up. did i mention it had to be cheap to make any plans or ideas send them my way. cheers all,

Assuming you have wire ?

 

A straight cage dropping door hinged at the top and folds up inside. Held open by a straight wire attached to a treadle.

 

 

 

Or you could make one from thinner wire and a frame as described here

or you could try one of these if you're more of a wood worker
