This is fantastic. I learned a bunch from this. But honestly, in my (young 8 years) of TNR I've never once considered letting a cat or kitten be hit with the trap noise at full volume. That just seems like unnecessary trauma so the first thing I do with a new trap is zip-tie a washcloth around the door threshold to muffle it. I didn't know this wasn't normal. The vets all understand it when they see it. There's absolutely no value to keeping the trap at full volume.
❤❤❤ very helpful tips! Have a large, older litter. I have a typical large black wire kennel(3’x5’). Is there a way to use bungee cords to spring the door and then use a bottle string pull to trap a large number if don’t have a drop trap available?
Yesterday at Target 🎯, I was trying to capture a kitten for over an hour. This kitten comes within 12 inches of me to eat food, and will follow me. This kitten is so talkative, and hanging around the Drive Up curbside door. It's noisy busy there, and this kitten is intentionally hanging around there. I've never had to try to trap a kitten. This kitten probably could be caught with a large enough cardboard box set with food at the back. Very talkative kitten, not really shy at all, just, I guess, learned fear enough to stay safe in feral situation.
Will the key ring trick work with the Haveahart trap?Just ordered it to trap 3 kittens and a very feral agressive mom😮 Your videos are very enlightening especially with to a novice like me. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS TO ANIMALS😊❤❤❤❤
I've used it with some Havahart traps but I don't think it works with the solid metal door model. I'll take a look and see if there's a hack around that. The classic bottle and string will always work instead and can be just as effective.
@@mphil22 Thank You for getting back to me! I returned the Haveahart trap. Parts were very sharp and the spring door was so tight, it slammed down like a guillotine. Got a Tomahawk and it's great! I managed to capture 3 kittens at once by feeding them in a pet carrier. Caught mom in the trap. All have gone to a wonderful rescue organization.
I didn't see that you mentioned kittens in the crate behind the trap with both covered. That's how we tell everyone to do it and the trappers I know all do that for mom.
We don't do that very often but what ever works is the right choice. In our experience most moms will go under the drop trap as we show more readily than enter a box trap to get to their kittens. We try everything until we find what works. Thanks for mentioning that option!
She should follow the instruction to "train" the cats first. Start with the food near the door and gradually move it farther back before setting the trap. It's important not to have other food available except the food in the traps. After watching the entire video she will know what to do.
Finding the food that they can't resist can take some trial and error. With the advice in the video, it should work with a little testing of which "bait" they like enough to go inside. Start close to the entrance and work it farther back as explained in the video
I've got a family I'm feeding. Mom, Dad, And four kittens. The dad has a bad front leg after about 2 years. He is trusting me enough to let me just give him a little tap on the head. The one kitten has seen that dad doesn't rum from me so the kitten stays with dad when I feed them.. I want to tnr them but I'm afraid of breaking the trust they have gained in me and I don't want to break up the family. I'm sure the dad will have to have his leg taken off

and is there a way to use key ring/nail with a gravity trap like trucatch?

A lady been trying to catch kitten and other cats. She put traps out but the cats will not go in them
