MK 4 & MK 6 fen traps
I was wondering if anyone else has used fen traps before?
MK4 fen traps are rated for squirrels and rat.
MK6 fen traps are stronger and rated for rabbits and mink.
They are tunnel traps.
For catching rabbits which will probably be most peoples quarry you loosen the soil inside the mouth of the rabbit hole and set the trap and them recover with loose soil.
When the rabbit walks across the pressure plate the rabbit is dispatched.

The plus side to this trap that your catch is covered from other people who might otherwise steal your catch.

Care must be taken to limit your human scent left around the rabbit hole but this can be covered with the use of peppermint water. (also useful for setting snares)

For squirrels use a wooden tunnel or make shift brick tunnel as they can resist diving for cover and investigating tunnels.
Just make sure there is enough room for the traps to close as they need a fair bit of height.
The only other thing is to make sure you peg or attach the chain for the trap securely or a fox may run off with your catch and your trap never to be seen again.
