We have our "bunny barn" outdoors. The cages are hung inside a magnum dog kennel. I have discovered droppings inside the mouth of the j-feeders, which means that large mice or small rats (there are tree rats here, I don't think there are Norway rats) are entering the cages and eating the rabbit's food. I'm less upset about the food than I am about the fact that something is entering the cages while the rabbits are in them. Last night I put out glue traps and a snap trap in each empty cage, but no luck as of this evening.
I'm horrified. We have a doe due in a couple of weeks and I'm afraid whatever is entering the cage will hurt the babies. This must be terribly upsetting to the rabbits!
What can I do? I don't want to use poison, as we have free ranging chickens. Will the glue traps work?
The rabbit food is kept inside a metal can.
