Rabbit Drop Box

The trapdoor falls away under the weight of a passing rabbit, dropping it into the pit or ‘box’.

Placed across a fence line this trap creates an artificial route that rabbits will begin to use regularly—at which point the trap can be ’switched on’ and will take a large number of rabbits very quickly. It takes a bit of setting up but once in place will work reliably over a long period.

For best results the trap should be installed at the same time that rabbit proof fencing is erected. If added to an existing fence line, allow the trap to settle in and then slowly block off all the other gaps that the rabbits use.
