You are a bloody legend! Great idea....foxs keep getting out chooks... thanks for the video....apparently covering the floor with the neighbouring dirt helps with getting the fox to walk in the trap....

Ben Jarvie thanks Ben - yes, that would make sense too. We've had no trouble with foxes since. (Some one must have shown them this video!)

Great video which inspired us. Made slight modification of attaching string to our wooden pole (holding up the door). The string was held under tension by an egg on the inside of the grill. Fox came in, ate the egg which released the string which allowed the door to close. Can’t tell you how happy I am given it had eaten all my ducklings and lambing (6 ewes) is about to start.

Wow, what a funny video. We have mice traps that work like that and caught 3 already this way. Laugh a lot when you got the... But really cleaver stuff Tim. Was wondering about the locking bit. Very smart.

I imagine this design would work well for a decent sized snapping turtle trap. Great video! I've been brainstorming how to turn a shopping cart into a live trap. I need not look any further as I will be referencing your awesome how-to video. Thanks!

Great idea, we lost our 1st hen to a fox yesterday so its all out war now i will be out later grabbing a shopping trolley !!

fantastic ingenuity, this idea could save small holders hundreds of pounds i.e cost of a manufactured trap and restocking costs when the fox got in one of the best videos i have seen thank you

Straight around to Tesco tomorrow mornin, I saw loads of those traps outside the last day I passed 😂

This channel is brilliant! Almost watched all the videos

Nice trap, and durable!

Awesome Idea!! Great Work!

Impressively ingenious T!

The badger looked like he was comfortable in the trap and didn't want to leave. He probably thought it was a shelter or something.

Shopping trolleys will always migrate down to the sea just before they head off to spawn!😂

you made the trap out of a shopping kart that's party smart to make that to work and all that

Let us all go steal a Shopping Trolley and make one

Fantastic, what's that old saying "Necessity is the mother of invention" great innovation there Sir....... *(Tips my hat)*

My catch with my not nearly so homemade trap this spring: 1 fox and 3 skunks (or one skunk caught 3 times). I would like to put "can release skunks from a live trap without getting sprayed" on my resume now.

this is awesome man!!

Great idea! Looks like a nice way to handle animals before they cause too much of a problem for you.

I have more chickens killed by badgers than foxes and they don't kill the chicken as cleanly as a fox. I'm off to the local canal to find an old shopping trolley! Great videos, keep up the good work!

best design I saw on youtube

very well done could even catch rabits

I built one of those traps . The trigger works but i would like to figure out how to put in a step-on trigger plate for it .

I can't wait to build this with my dad

Why don't you put one of the wheels up front so that you can cart the trap away like a wheel barrow instead of suspending it by your side where the fox can get at your leg?

If you set it up on a busy street you might catch a couple of supermarket CEO's! Not sure whether you'd let them go though. Well not at least til they genuinely stop ripping off customers.

I would have thought that you need to bait a trap with mashed potato in order to catch a badger. Everybody knows badgers love mashed potato.

I caugh a young fox years ago and I kept him as a pet I had him for 4 years . I even taught him to hunt rabbits . one day while out hunting with him in the fields he was chasing a rabbit and a hunter shot him with a rifle . I was gutted .my grand fox dead and he almost had the rabbit . it was a good shot though in all fairness .

Oh Gosh, Tim ! Badgers are a fierce tornado of a snarling defensive machine probably close to the description of a Tasmanian devil ! I know.. Many years back we ran a desert trapline as the boots-on-the-ground element of the fur industry, to bring in a few sheckels, here and there. I was a small nipper at the time, yet recall how vicious they could be, in their own defense. I've only assumed that would also be the case if they were hungry. Our chickens were decimated by raccoons. They grow pretty stout on a good diet! But I got him, and it wasn't a fun trip to the sea in a trolley, I'll tell you. He ate a dozen of our hens before I got him. Basically, put us out of the home-fresh eggs for children circumstance. Store bought just ain't the same.. rc

tat badger could be your chicken killer.

Hi, Thanks for a great tip. Just finished my version and I've made an improvement on the trigger system. I'm after fox and them guys are sneaky litter buggers. To have the trigger mounted on the exterior at the back on the trap as you have in your video will result in the fox tripping it when it circles the trap trying to get to the bait without having to enter the trap. To enter the trap is a last resort for the fox, trust me, I've seen them try to dig themselves in to avoid entering. So I put in a system similar to what is shown in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqqlw6yFndK7kdo.html Works great!

Did you consider that it may be the badger doing the harm in your chicken run? I assumed I was having a regular visit from a fox as my hens were being depleted. One night I heard a rumpus in the hen run, I ran out to be confronted by a rooster, minus its tail feathers being chased by a badger, who suspiciously had a number of feathers in its mouth! Who'da thunk?

London has its fair share of fox's. The rat problem could easily be reduced by humans.

The best way to do this is stop leaving food for them. Basically, dispose of your rubbish properly.

But we have to recognise that now that we have changed the rules for so many animals we have to look after them too. All the domesticated animals would be killed in no time by wolves/foxes because we have bred them to be heavy and slow and calm. That wouldn't be fair either, would it?
