How big should the entrance holes be to allow a feral cat to be comfortable entering a Doc250?
No kiwi ,weka or domestic cats are in the area.
Hi In our network of about 260 of the 250 traps we use the std 80 mm sq entrance and catch almost as many Feral Cats as we do Ferrets, we just don’t advertise the fact as the 250 is not approved for feral cats.
I covered this in other stuff I wrote in tips and Tricks Important to check the actual vertical opening of internal baffle in relation to the Treadle plate when the trap is set, as if you follow the DOC guide lines generally you can get a smallish opening in the Internal baffle, personally for internal baffle if the actual opening is on the small side I have no problem removing one more row of mesh to increase the vertical opening.
