So they limit hunting rabbits is 5 a day. Is that the legal limit when trapping them also? Is there a limit when trapping them?

The administrative rule sets the dates and bag limit for 'taking' rabbits. The bag limit is 5 no matter the method used. If you trap 2, you can shoot 3. If you trap 5, you are at your daily limit. I posted the administrative rule as well as the definition of 'take' as it pertains to your question. let me know if you have further questions.
