What killed the ducklings?

[patdahat 41]

ahh i see, taught it was some trap that i hadnt heard of, cheers

[gold medal 2]

id be wary of setting fenns until you know its not an otter, although all the times iv had them killing its been similar to a fox heads off and bodys burried,

 

if you find out for definate its mink try rail traps, (logs over the ditch and anything that flows into the pond with a trap on it covered with wire netting to cover the trap and limit non target speies getting in

 

 

RAIL TRAPS???? what are these have you any pic's

 

Just a log, post, or dead tree, over a stream, ditch or brook with a fenn or bodygrip placed on it, bodygrips being best... Easy access crossing point for little critters like stoats, squigs, rabbits, etc

 

 

i wouldnt rule out sumthin bigger but i rear a few thousand ducks inside from day old every year and ive found that they seem to be a magnet for rats until the ducks are about 2 weeks old

If you have cage traps dig them into the bank, i usually found it works. Had a lot off ducks killed on a pond but it wasn't a mink.
