A few things you can do to help capture shy animals include:
*Pre-baiting a trap - put a trail of food leading to the trap and inside the trap for a few days without actually setting the trap to encourage the animal to trust the trap.
*Disguising a trap by using natural materials in the environment like dirt, branches, leaves, etc. to mimic the smell and appearance of the surrounding area (shiny traps usually do not attract animals)
*Covering a trap or placing it inside another possible shelter
*Using a dual-door trap so that the animal appears to have another way out
