Wild guinea pig has been seen on a local allotment. It keeps running under a fence and can’t get behind the fence so have to wait until it comes out. It then runs back again as soon as you get near it. It only looks to be 4-5 months old. Any tips on how to catch it? Will a humane trap work?
Help how do I catch a wild guinea pig?

I would contact the rspca or a local rescue who have experience in catching escaped/feral pets
