I've only seen one (two actually, babies in the same trap - it must be
unusual) which had been caught by the snout. All others have died of a
headache.

My experience is the other way round.


Perhaps ours aren't as nervous... or more hungry ... or it might be that we
leave a baited but 'flat' trap around and not until the bait is taken do we
then bait a set trap. By that time they're used to taking bait without
hesitation.
