    The feral rabbits we caught weren't interested in carrots but lettuce and they love dock leaves.

    Dougie

    You should try using the fresh earth idea and baiting your traps.

    Lettuce seems like the popular choice.

    Can't hurt could it ..... after all you can't catch anything less than what your getting now

    Good luck, don't give up and let us know how you get on

    Cheers
    Pete

    I did some extensive research on this subject when I was much younger and I can say with all honesty Bug Bunny was never short of a carrot or two.

    I believe he was addicted to them
