Still hopping around the figgy garden!

Baiting the trap, that's the quest for the days as we move into spring and watch rabbits enjoying the warmer days and lush vegetation in our yard and figgy garden. Chickweed is a favorite, as are dandelions.  Many online sources say to use greens and peanuts as bait. That got us a squirrel. Another sources said to use apples and spray the trap with apple juice....which got us ants and a bunch of rabbits sitting around the trap, twitching their nostrils and staring at the trap.

We've moved the trap around the property, but I think that's done nothing other than confuse everyone. They tend to linger within the blackberry rows. The trap should probably be placed in there, kept there from day to day with fresh bait of chickweed and some apple bits. In addition, I bet the shiny trap metal should be camouflaged so it's not so glaringly a TRAP, you know?  If it's shining, and changing positions, and has ants crawling all over it -- no wonder the rabbits are laughing their behinnees off!
