In the past lures such as hens eggs, whole portions of rabbit or rabbit mince have been used. However, these lures have problems, for example hen eggs can easily be broken when carried in the field and rabbit portions and rabbit mince only last a few days before going rotten and becoming fly blown and unattractive as a lure.

Many conservation organisations such as the Friends of Rotoiti conservation group use the Mustelid and Cat Lure as a replacement for eggs or rabbit meat. This group compared stoat captures using our Mustelid and Cat Lure with hen eggs and came to the conclusion that it works just as well. See the following link for more details.
