We've used all sorts of stuff but seem to have the best results with apples or lettuce.
Sliced apples.

On cold days do not have to use anything in a good aged rabbit box. Warmer weather will have better luck with apples (whole ones are better as they will last longer). If you are really desperate quarter the apples and marinate with vanilla flavoring. And yes you may catch the occasional possum using apples but after the box is washed out or just not used for a while no problem catching more rabbits.

Jody, are you serious (sardines).
You don't have to bait a rabbit box. 
Sardines will get you possums. Thats why I'd use sardines. I'd rather catch possums.

Apples will get you possums too! It is best not to bait them with anything, unless you want possum boxes instead of rabbit boxes.

You bait a box with rabbit urine. You bait a pyramid trap with apples.

[/QUOTE]when i first try catching rabbits i use Golden delicious, but if you set your Havahart traps out, camoflauge them. put them in 2 runs that intersect away from wore out trails or roadbed edges or you may have possum with sweet potatoes for supper!!!!! Does anybody know if rabbit scent that you get at the hunting store will work or not??????? ROUNDBABY round@windstream.net

I searched the internet and baited a trap today with lettuce and carrots and sprayed apple cider in and around the trap. I have never tried trapping before, but I have a buddy who has a starting pen and needs a few wild rabbits. The rabbits are all around my dogpens at dusk, so hopefully I will suceed in catching one.
If this bait doesn't work well I will use apples next time.

Did a 2 yr study a decade ago in MS. Caught 140+ in those 2 yrs (in cedar wood box traps) with quartered apples (did catch ~10 opossums and 5 skunks). Set traps in their runs. For wire box traps I would pull up dead grass and camo them.
