Fenn trap tunnels

[Pykie]

What is the best way to make a tunnel trap for a fenn? I would like an easy way to transport several at a time if possible, to trap areas where unfortunately I can not easily drive to. Obviously a wooden one would be ideal, but gets a bit heavy carrying several at a time.

on my shoot i use some old bricks for the walls for the tunnels and old roof tiles for the roof.

we also have mink boxes made of wood

I use wooden tunnels, but they are quite bulky.

 

You could use weldmesh, or I have seen this type of plant trough used with a round hole cut at each end. They would be light weight and stackable, but you would have to find one with the right dimensions to allow the trap to spring, but not leave too much space above the trap.

Hi pykie, the only thing I could surggest is to use something like twin wall drainage pipe cut in half it does com in various diameters but does not come cheap unless you know or can have a kind word with someone council drainage work they do at times have offcuts they will gladlly give you,
