Rabbit purse in Havana hemp

The rabbit purse is a device intended to capture wild rabbits alive. It works using cords that tighten automatically under the weight of the animal, thus enclosing the rabbit without hurting it thanks to its linen design, unlike nylon models. For installation, it is advisable to place the purse at the entrance to the burrows and repeat the operation on several openings to maximize the chances of capture.

Capturing a live rabbit helps control and prevent the spread of serious and contagious diseases such as myxomatosis or viral hemorrhagic disease, as well as manage agricultural damage caused by these animals. In some regions, regulating their population is crucial to protecting crops.

From a regulatory perspective, the rabbit purse is classified as a category 1 trap and must be checked before noon each day. Its use requires official trapper approval.
