Here's silly question. In early part of here I caught rabbit in trap for my young dog. I used wire type trap with apples. I set it one evening and checked it next morning. I had a rabbit, but all was left couple feet, backbone, lil bit of head. Trap was not disturbed. What could've got it?

Don't know BB but most times they will beat themselves bloody or even to death in a all wire trap. Could've been a weasel.
