Two Live Animal traps were purchased today. The cost was $50.00 for both, since they were on sale. The purpose is to trap the few rabbits in my garden and transport a few miles away from my area. Do they work? The traps are set, baited with a carrot, and I must wait and see.

Yes, they work - as long as you're just reasonably careful not to leave too much of a human scent on them (and I'm none too sure of the carrot bait ). But well done you, Durgan, for not simply deciding to do away with the little buggers. I have nothing against hunting rabbits for food, but killing them merely for convenience goes against the grain.

Try putting, cinnamon, jam, vegemite/marmite or curry powder on the carrots for greater success.

A half grown rabbit was captured in a live trap. The trap was baited with a piece of apple. The rabbit was set free about 10 km away in a bushy area alongside the road. This was my first catch.

perhaps you should paint a number on the rabbit so you'll know whether it returns...

i dont know why but if you set them 10' out from the cover they run into when you see them with both enterances facing away from the cover you have far better success and I have always had success with carrots
