Lloyd90 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 A friend of mine needs some rabbits to stock a pen, do these traps look any good? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rabbit+live+catch+trap&client=safari&sa=X&hl=en-gb&biw=375&bih=628&tbs=vw:l,ss:44&tbm=shop&prmd=sivn&srpd=10911577849133384850&prds=num:1,of:1,epd:10911577849133384850&ved=0ahUKEwjZjMqem4zVAhVLAcAKHWFaC4QQgjYI7wU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moongeese Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I use a number of live catch rabbit cages, you dont have to spend a fortune on rabbit traps with strong spring shutting doors, I would recommend you buy simple drop door traps, I use both, and they work very well, and are half the price. I pre bait them with carrots, then set them, or set them up on the run where it comes through the fence to enter the field to feed, at this point they dont need baited, and catch well.

KFC Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just be aware that, as you stand the trap on its end and reach in for the Rabbit, unless you're quick, it may nip at the back of your hand, latch its claws onto your wrist, run up your arm, across the back of your shoulders, leap several feet to land and bolt off across the field whilst your mates are doubled up laughing Only once mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltings Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 as kids we would watch the rabbits to suss our the warrens and bolt holes then cut a long briar from the hedge push it down the hole twist it continuously and it would grip the rabbit fur and pull it out works a treat if no briars wild rose or barbed wire will do the job you may need up to 8 to 10 feet long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
