Quite innovative staggering the partition like that to make it fit two traps. That restriction guides Rattus right on the trap pan too. I'll file that one in the memory bank somewhere for future.

i thought the same. great idea but sadly i think i wouldnt have thought of it. would probably have kicked the box and started again

It was very scientifically worked out. The equation i used was....... Partition= length of cuttings of firewood+overlapped by excess length of 2 cuttings and spaced out by thickness of one cutting.

Equations were never really my thing so pure good luck it actually works!

Kicking the box would have been the next equation!

Yes, I have done a few of these modified Victor's after seeing it done,

Here

Excellent little trap with a nice strong spring when modified, put a small piece of perspex to lift the spring up on the one's i did, and another little bit 

screwed on top to stop the springs moving, done some chinbar's with metal rod and some out of wood, also done the tunnel with mesh on some and others

with thin plastic folded over to make a tunnel.

The one in pic has no tunnel just a little cubby that slides over the trap.

Gooner,

I just put that bit of strip on because i had a small split in the wooden base of the trap, just glued and screwed it on to stop the split.

yeah my arse twitches when i pull it open

The old oil i am using as bait actually has another benefit. The traps are working super smooth, easier to draw back and the triggers are more sensitive.

Managed to catch this last night, used an old Spring trap whilst I am waiting for the victors & new fens to arrive Tuesday.

Bait wise I used a fishing boilie
