Has anyone used this successfully to catch rabbits?

I have alot of rabbits but never set my sights on using this trap to catch them (caught skunks and Racoons) if you use this for rabbits use Kale (red or green) as bait should work great

I have caught racoons, skunks and groundhogs...and my chickens...I think the rabbit thing would depend on the bait used but I don't see why it wouldn't work as chickens are light too.

I haven't either but suspect HPD is likely correct. You may be able to "adjust" the tension but my feeling is a smaller trap would work better for you.

Never had that problem. Have had a cat or some varmint drag my trap away after it had caught a gopher & lost it.

For small game such as rabbits and such it works great for. I used it for rabbits and I love it. Big game no way the arrows are to small.

I'm not sure, all I know is rabbits usually poop catty corner to their water source. So you may try moving the water source.

I have never used this for rabbits but did have a rabbit that used a regular litter box. My suggestion would be to buy just a bag of the pellets and make sure the rabbit does not try to chew on them and uses the box normally. If so, this system would be ideal. Scooping their solids might be a bit challenging as their solids are very similar in size and shape to the pellets. I cannot say how much we are pleased with ours. The urine collection system is unlike any other and it truly works. Best of luck!

I have been setting this trap off and on since I bought it (about a year) and have yet to catch ANYTHING !!

I got the product to keep feral cats off my porch. It does work for that if I spray every day. Not sure about rabbits but it's worth a try.

I use it for two rabbits. I had to turn the run upside down and make a roof out of plywood. I did the to stop the rabbits from burrowing out.

Not sure about how effective the netting is against rabbits. We bought it to keep bats from inhabiting our attic, and so far it seems to be working well for that. It is much finer and stronger than bird netting, though. Rabbits would REALLY want to get at something to be able to penetrate it.

This trap will catch any small animal that enters it, and will not hurt the animal. The animal has to walk into it however, and trip a lever that will quickly close the door. I guess some food might lure a kitten to enter. I have used it to catch armadillos, and have caught rabbits and raccoons that could easily be released unharmed.

I would suggest that after reading the operating information for the trap, that you redirect this question to the manufacturer. I am not going to be on their tech support team. I think the basic idea behind the traps might be ultimately effective, but maybe the implementation in the hardware is less than optimal.

I did not find it to be successful with squirrels but don't know about rabbits.

I have a couple of these traps. Someone finally got it right with the trigger set up. It doesn't take much to trip it. I catch Gray Squirrels all the time. Some times as many as 4 per day.I use cheap wild bird seed I get from any store. Fill up the trigger with about half a hand full and the other half hand full is for a line from just outside the door to the trigger. I have never lost a Squirrel in this trap. I have used other brands and bigger Havaheart, but none work like this one. Well worth the money. Very sturdy too. It is all metal. No springs to wear out. The weight of the door closes it.

Did not use it for this purpose... Only used outdoors for rabbits... Don't know how it would work for rats.

I catch a lot of packrats with this trap. No bait needed. Definitely too big for mice but it will (unfortunately) trap some rabbits and golden-mantled ground squirrels (chipmunk size).

Yes, this works great for me. It keeps all critters out except chipmucks which scoot right under the wire. I run two strands of wire: one about an inch or two above the ground and one around six inches higher so groundhogs, rabbits, etc. cannot get in without touching the wire. If you want to keep deer out, you will have to run a strand higher up as well, maybe 3-4 feet high.FYI: anything that touches the wire will short it out so you have to keep weeds and garden plants from touching the wire.

I shot a rabbit with it the other day. The rabbit sat there for quite a while. Then dropped over dead..I thought I had missed..Yes went right through the rabbit. I'm very pleased with the rifle after I sighted it in.
