Dead-Eyed Duck Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 You need to stop the stupid chickens poking their heads far enough into the tunnel and getting their heads caught. So, I would suggest that the entrance to the tunnel needs to be blanked off enough for the rat to enter (just) but more importantly the tunnel needs to be long enough so that the chucks head cannot reach in far enough for it to set off the trap Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 about the size of a pool ball is well big enough, a rat wont be that bothered. make sure there are no gaps at the sides of the fenn. try blocking one end off and bait past the fenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japrite Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks. Im only worried about the chickens ik im going to use poision, but with the Fenn traps we have to be carefull as we have many hedgehogs in the area. Thanks for the reply Japrite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
