Bunny Trap
Trapping a bunny is never easy but with our help you can find out how to make one with just home materials. My group and I did this two times and it \In this instructable we will show you step by step on how to make a bunny trap.
Supplies
- Flat cardboard that is 16 x 12
- A box that is 10 x 10 and a height of 12 inches without a lid
- Cardboard lid that is 9.5 x 9.5
- Flat cardboard that is 22 x 12
- Four pieces of cardboard that is 3 x 20
- Rolled flat cardboard that is 7 x 20
- After making sure you have all the items you need, you need to take the flat cardboard and place it down in the work environment you're working in.
- You will then take the box and put it whichever side you want and tape it or glue it down from all the bottom.
- You will then take the lid that would go in the top and make sure it fits loose.
- Cut 3 holes in the side where it will be attached in the top of the box where you cut out the lid.
- Make 3 holes in the side of the box where the lid will be attached.
- Cut out 3 pieces of yarn (2 inches at least )
- You will then have someone hold the lid or flat lid so someone else can put the yarn through the three holes of the box and lid. Tie a knot and make sure it's secured.
- After that, poke a hole in the center of the lid and get a yarn that will reach a foot long up so it can be attached to the other part of the bunny trap.
- Tie a knot at the end of the yarn into the hole making sure that it's secure.
- For the ramp as you can see in the picture it only has to be folded a bit so the bunny still has “support” in the top but will actually fall in.
- You will only tape the sides so the tape doesn't smooth out the top.
- The next part is the taller part which you will need to find a flat cardboard that you can cut in half and then fold both of them in half. ( Hotdog style)
- To secure them tape both of them separately
- You will need a taller flat cardboard that can be rolled into a cylinder and taped to be secured
- To secure and put everything together, get a smaller and short box that's 3x4 inches and tape it down into the flat surface at the very end so it's in front of the bigger box.
- Put both of the same pieces in the sides of the box vertical and tape it to the box
- You will have to poke a hole with the same pencil on both of them in the top but that's an inch down from the top.
- Get a pencil and poke a hole in the middle of the cylinder which will now go between both of the pieces.
- Make sure the pencil is put into all the holes and left there
- Make two holes in both of the ends of the cylinder
- The one that's closest to the bigger box will have the string from the lid that's in the middle attached to it
- The farthest to the back will have a small basket with the weight that's balanced so the lid won't be all the way down but touching the extra part of the ramp
- To make the small basket just get a smaller box that won't be heavy on the lid.
- Poke holes in the box so the bunny doesn't suffocate
Now that it's done you can design it anyway you want :)
