Another day at Seaward Bush

Today we visited Seaward bush again to see if we had any luck catching anything in the trap we set last week and also seeing if any rodents bit the wax tabs. This time Tim brought his friend Alfredo and 6 possum traps. We hiked around the bush looking at the wax tabs and setting possum traps. To set the possum traps you have to nail it to a tree on a flat bit or else the possum will come to the side of the trap and grab the bait instead of going through it. For bait we used apples. And we hope next week we find some possums in the traps. For the wax tabs we didn't have much luck. The first 15 were not bitten but as we approached the centre of Seaward Bush we found some bitten ones.We also didn't have much luck for the trap we set last week. Nothing was in it but next week we will have a better chance because rodents have to get used to anything thats new in their habitat. It was really fun and I'm looking forward to next week.
