  12. The original 'Humane Spring Traps' were designed prior to the 1954 Act being considered, they could not ban the gin until a suitable replacement had been thoroughly tested, hence the Act was drawn up in 1954 but the gin was not actually banned until July 1958 to give trappers chance to purchase new traps. The traps that were finally approved were invented long before then!! The tunnel IS PART OF the trap - to work successfully it must meet with an upper surface which ensure that the captive is held humanely where intended, and not allow it to jump into free space, often at a contorted angl
  13. again as ive said in the post above if they where designed to jump why then the need to restrict the movement
  14. This is simply not true - I can safely say that the Fenn trap WAS designed to jump, it was the not first trap made in UK to do so either. The tunnel was part of the planned design back in the late 1940's. OTC i thought fenn traps were designed in the 1950`s after legghold traps were banned under the (pests act) 1954. the bit i dont understand if it was designed to jump, why then the need to restrict that jump by the height of the tunnel surely this would you lead you to believe that the height of the tunnel would have to be higher than the trap jumps
  15. i blame climate change and the bees
  16. when i was at school there was a golf course over the back, me and a mate use to set gins in burrows daily, we had always got a rabbit or two in our pockets and bags. on the subject of fenns jumping, i dont believe they were ever intended to do it as a design feature but rather a consiquence of the spring design, the tunnel i believe was added as an aid to protect against non target species later on, when things had to be seen to be more humane, the same with lockable and chained rat bait stations and the like.
  17. an intersting read, no mention of the fenn being origanally designed to be used as a trap within a tunnel but as a predecessor to the gin that was also not used within a tunnel http://qsl.net/2e0waw/gintraps.htm
  18. i dont need it anymore moll as ive just about finished the others, just the big run to roof it cost alot more than that to make thats for sure
