Our new rat traps 25th May

Today Steve Henderson came to deliver some new rat traps for our Wetlands and to show us how and where to set them.  We are very excited to catch our first rat.  
We have created a google doc to record the species of rat, sex, body and tail length and which trap it is caught in. 
Later we will graph this information, try different lures and places to set.  For now we are using peanut butter, a rat favourite!!


Steve shows us how to bait and set the traps
