iseremarc 11 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) In-tunnel infra red video of a french vole inspecting and being caught in a Topcat guillotine trap. The text says that the vole is wary when it approaches the trap as it has previously marked the tunnel with scent glands on it's flanks, and the trap breaks the scent trail - I don't know if that's true or not. The traps are swiss, and very expensive. https://youtu.be/S-oMIua82fk Edited March 15, 2015 by iseremarc 2 Quote Link to post
3175darren 1,102 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Notice how it took time smelling around the edge of the trap, before entering, Did you also see the other short video below that, with the little bit of explosive, Quote Link to post

iseremarc 11 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Did that thing just behead it? No, they call it a guillotine trap to describe it's action rather than the final result. The trigger wires release a spring-loaded stainless tube that shoots down and breaks or crushes the vole's ribcage or neck. If you go to any of the retailer's sites, sit down before you look at the price... https://youtu.be/j9KUBp3QCUY Quote Link to post
