mustelid bait trials: salted rabbit vs eggs

Mustelid traps are traditionally baited with hen eggs. Our volunteer trappers took part in a trial comparing using salted rabbit to hen eggs. We use these in double set tunnel kill traps. Salted rabbit won hands down.

Check out the full trial, which covers our findings, best practice in the field and how to salt rabbit baits. Or check out our summary sheet for the end results.
