so.. we have problems with rodents in our yard/ property. so we borrowed our neighbors live trap, and put out some food that we heard would get groundhogs.
so.. like not even an hour later, a raccoon went on top of the cage. and then went IN the cage, and then grabbed a piece of apple and SNAP.
so he's captive in the cage and i don't know what to do. he/she/it slept today, which, duh, is normal since they're nocturnal.
my husband went to the farm store today and got a different kind of trap, and might be thinking about getting our own gun. unfortunately living in a farm area, there's too much at risk with rodents hanging around.
trash being ripped open, disease spreading.. that alone is a big red flag. and it's illegal to transport them to another area because of that as well. so it's either they are caught and killed, or they're road kill and hopefully the driver doesn't take a hit.
and my husband found little footprints on his new vehicle, too. *sigh
it's a hard call.
for now, our furry visitor is still in the cage.
