shropshire mole 190 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have tried cage traps a couple of months back with no luck. Going to try again in winter when less lush vegetation about. most folk here say carrot is fine, a few small pieces around trap, and leading into trap with most behind the trap plate. Do a search, there is quite a lot of info about already, try youtube as well Good Luck Quote Link to post
Dirksdonuts 79 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Hi guys Its worth putting them near to the rabbits runs seen in the grass. Keep the carrots going and make sure that they are cut length ways into large slices. Don't worry too much about putting some outside as they will find it. We run about 30 at a time in some heavily infested areas and pick up 5-6 rabbits a day on a good day. I have never tried apple or parsnip but both sound interesting. I think apple sounds a really good idea. Edited October 22, 2014 by Dirksdonuts Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,549 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Use apple with the slightest brush of honey on one side only. The one side with the honey furthest away from the trap entrance. atb Quote Link to post
