Just woke up. The camera caught a baby raccoon getting in through a 2in gap in my gate and we caught it in our trap!! Just happy that we figured out what it was
Yes I did try this last night and nothing got in. But two nights ago I also put meet in the run and something did get in and eat it. It might have been a mouse or rat but I’m not sure.
