ive been lucky only lost two in 20 years of ferreting, patience is the key, but I'd avoid burrows joining onto wombat burrows wombats will crush and kill them, I've smoked mine out after waiting an hr, best tip I got was buy a cheap possum cage type trap put one of their rags in it and some food and leave it overnight if you have to, has worked for me 1/2 a dozen times so far, and always give them a little food before putting them down the hole and avoid rabbit breedingbirthing season they will much kitten rabbits allday before they have a nap underground now that's painful, sandy burrows can be troublesome too can collapse when they get thumping, and lastly it ain't alway rabbits coming outI've had feral cats roaring out and more than my share of snakes
