The young one came back to find Mum - I went back to the ferret site a few days later to see if there were any family members around - but nothing - so I put a slice of Mums skin and fur in behind the Trap - I also had a fresh rat from a nearby site so I put it on the top of the box with a couple of pieces of wood to hold it still - back there yesterday - bingo a young one had been back to check on Mum - so this time I left one of Mum’s legs in the bait end of the box - will see if there any more around in a few days. It’s a smelly business legging and skinning them but seems to work.
Good work with the boxes @kukuwai - I see you are doing swivel tops - I have reverted to nailing the box closed and doing a hinge mesh rear door with a core flute floor slider
