Mammal Footprint Tunnel

About this product

The Mammal Footprint Tunnel provides a non-invasive and effective presence/absence survey method for small mammals, particularly hedgehogs. The animal walks over ink pads to reach bait left inside the tunnel, leaving footprints on the tracking paper from which they can be identified. 

The durable corrugated plastic design folds down flat making the tunnels easy to store and transport. 

Includes charcoal ink, metal fixing pegs and a copy of the FSC Guide to British Mammal Tracks and Signs. Please note that you will require a small amount of vegetable oil to mix with the charcoal as well as bait food such dog / cat food and masking tape.

Available as a single tunnel, a pack of 10 or an Education Pack. Please see the specifications below for full details of what is included in each pack.
