Fantail Diary with Maureen

​Another two!!! Now it is officially 350 possies! What a milestone.
 
Today I deployed three more traps. They are TR2, TR3 and TR4. They are called trapinators. On the top it says: I will not return! Quite funny. Anyway one was for possums and two are for cats. I baited them with sardines!! So have to see how that goes. Saw another cat just today.
 
Plus the two possums were on Northern Line. Number T15 and T16. Tomorrow I am going to deploy 5 more trapinator traps along Northern Line. If you look at map there is a long shelter belt of trees. They all go in there.
Possies are go. I quite like the trapinator trap. Although so far I have only one out there and it caught two possums so far. They are fixed onto a tree and then I put lure inside and then on the side is a lever and I have to push down to set the trap. When the possum goes in bang it triggers and it is dead. It then just hangs there until I come and put the lever back up again and it falls out.
 
Also went especially to trap Taximus. Nothing. That is very curious. Why would there be no more possums? It is such a good location. There must be possums. Maybe I should put the camera there just to see what happens. Maybe cats removing the bodies?
