I found Havahart on line and have ordered the trap.

Watch out Easter Bunny , Peter and Bugs.

I bet they'd all enjoy living at the TG postal station. My backyard might be too close!:shrug:

Good move, a great DIY solution and way cheaper than hiring a pest control company that would try to kill bugs bunny. And the trap lasts forever, not a one time use. Try smearing a little peanut butter on the bait tray and then top it off with some shredded carrots or other tasty vegetable. Stick the carrots into the peanut butter so that when the rabbit goes for a bite it trips the tray and closes the door. Let us know how it goes. Best of luck.

What's up, Doc?

Ok, why not run the rabbit out the hole under the fence it came in and fix the hole so it can't get back in. I had one that was able to get under my plastic fence. I ran it out and relocated rocks on both sides to fill up the gap.

Need carrots? We happen to be overloaded with them at the moment for some reason.

Challenger 02-27-2018 03:57 PM

Trap purchased, armed and ready. Hope Peter is inquisitive

Don't forget to remove the baby bunnies...

Good luck! Maybe I'll see him in our backyard soon. :-)

OK - set Havaheart tap and Voila!! next morning I had captured a critter. While not a rabbit , it was a "possum". Released him/her/it in a nearby preserve. Trap reset with carrots and lettuce , smeared with peanut butter. Hope we catch that damned "wabbit" this time.

Rabbits like peanut butter? Who knew! (Crosby likes peanut butter--how big is that cage?)
