I bought a squirrel cage trap from Amazon and caught a squirrel within
10 minutes of leaving the trap open in the garden.

Once caught I quickly realised that I didn't have it in me to kill the
squirrel - as destructive as they are in chewing timber frame houses
and damaging plants and trees.

and that's what you need to think about when you get a trap and get one,
your target. Now what will you do?
Please don't trap, unless you can kill them yourself, or get someone in,
quickly, who can.
Any foxes I caught in the catch-alive trap in my hen run were soon off to
the RB via Foxman.
For the memory of my cockerel, Paxo 2 who died of injuries trying to save
his girls. He was bruised all over his body and died trying to save them
from the fox.
May he know we got the fox that did it.
