1)You have the hay to keep the animal warm, and comfortable. You have the apples and seeds to keep the animal fed and nourished. And you have the hole for shrews so they can get out of the trap, because you aren't looking at that species for information. The hole is small so the shrews can fit, but the other animals can't.
