Title: 2 in one trap!
Post by: Pinkbear (Julie) on August 01, 2008, 21:23:53 PM

Has anyone else ever got 2 toms to go in a trap at once?  :Crazy:

I just returned from trapping feral puds at Whitstable. I heard the trap spring and went ot investigate. I couldn't believe my eyes - 2 of the biggest tom cats I've ever seen!  :Crazy: :evillaugh:

I swear if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it! I went straight and bought a lottery ticket. :rofl:

I've caught 2 in 1 but not big toms, but my best catch to date was a piglet and I've also caught a baby badger  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

A piglet?   :shocked: :evillaugh:

Now if you'd set out to catch a piglet, Dawn, you never would have managed it!  :rofl:

I was doing a colony on a farm that bred pigs, they were free running and pains in the  :censored:  :evillaugh:  Every time I set the trap, the piglets would appear and be straight in for the food  :rofl:  I spent the whole day chasing the buggars off  :evillaugh:

We have often found more than one cat in a trap.

Well, you are luckier than us, Ela.  :shy:

I've had 2-3-4 kittens at once. I've seen 2 adult cats halfway in a trap before, but one has always shoved the other out of the way before it sprung.

A short while ago we loaned a trap out and it was delivered to the vet with 3 females in it. We are 99% certain they were not trapped but just placed in it by the person, who wanted to get rid of them all in one go.  :tired:
