micky 3,325 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Its possible but illegal , if you have to use fenns it must be a Mk6 but they are crap and should be banned . Quote Link to post
Bourne13 4 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the reply I had just read this in the basc hand book . What traps would you advise ? Feel slightly embarrassed now I should of read first and asked questions later I suppose . Quote Link to post
Welsh_red 4,649 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've just bought a MK6 that is suitable for rabbits . As said above I don't think mk 4 is Quote Link to post

They are a good mink trap though micky. (The mk6) I agree they aren't the best killing trap, far from it, but they are a perfect type of trap for pockets, and cubbies. They ain't no rabbit trap though. Much better traps out there, for that job. Quote Link to post

I agree that they work better in a Cubby but a bodygrip would always be my first choice , as for the M6 being a ;GOOD MINK TRAP i have to disagree, how can a trap that consistently fails to kill ferrets humanely dispatch a mink , given time it might but so will old age .

What I mean by GOOD MINK TRAP is that (only my own opinion) mink tend to commit better to Fenns, than Bodygrips. I've caught plenty in both, but find I get more in the Fenns. Even US trappers can have problems with refusals in Bodygrips, but they have their footholds too. Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 It would be interesting to see pictures of rabbits that people have caught without ;never having a problem ; because i am sure they have but do not know it . Quote Link to post
