Hi After Some Advice

[Staffy1 52]

Hi

Looking to purchase some humane kill rabbit traps , thinking Fenn 6 however also been looking at body grips question I know bodygrips need to be set in tunnels checked daily etc but dose "a tunnel" for legal purposes include a natural tunnel such as rabbit warren??

Fenns are a bit cheaper but body grips seem like they would be easier to store and carry?/

Your thoughts would be appreciated

Hi,..

 

Body Grips are extremely versatile killing traps,...but when used here in the UK, (due to our regulations), their versatility and usage,.. is somewhat gelded,..

However,.if used on a rabbit fence,.with tunnels on either side to facilitate the rabbits approach,...they will certainly catch rabbits,...mind you, a wire snare would be cheaper

 

In a burrow situation,..the Imbra is a strong contender for the 'tool for the job' award...but,.. the modern Fenn Mk 6 will still catch you some rabbits....

It depends why you want to catch rabbits....if you have a big trapping job on for profit then I'd suggest different from just catching a few for interest or ferret food.

 

If clearing an area isn't life an death then go for bodygrips...I always think bodygrips make for a better trapper in the long run... anyone can stick a few fenns down (admittedly it still takes skill to do a good job) but the bodygrips make you think about what you are doing a bit more and spend a bit more time on it
