2x2 mesh rabbit traps

[ellir0305 9]

could i use 2x2" mesh to make live catch rabbit traps out of or would they just trip it from outside?

had thought the same myself, you could always put a finer mesh at the bait end

or if 2x2 is all you've got double it up at the bait end with big enough offcut to make it 1x1

thats not possible doubling up, would turn it into 2"x1" you'd have to treble it for 1"x1" just picking at straws me

not if you offset it but i wanted them as lightly constructed as possible so as not to scare the rabs off

Trust me I'm an engineer.

 

would add half the thickness and double the weight for that area.

Rabbits wouldn't be fazed by it as long as they see light.(not the brightest of creatures)

I use wooden versions just have mesh at the 'exit' end,I've had no probs in right locality.
