On my friends farm I noticed a run coming from under a zinc sheeted out building. I stuffed the hole with straw and it was cleared twice. Put a camera up and had a rats head poking out. As it was near a corner I put a fenn on one side and a bodygrip around the corner, ( only just started using the bodygrip). After 3 days had a squirrel in the bodygrip ( I've had 5 in total around the buildings and 15 rats). The traps were in tunnels and then covered more with zinc sheet and small branches to make chicken and dog proof. Nothing had been pulled off or disturbed, but on inspection the squirrels head was gone and it looked like something had been eating down into the body, it was so fresh it was as if I had disturbed whatever it was. So, rat, weasel, stoat or another squirrel ? The skull had been taken is puzzling me, why not just eat the flesh ?
