we hope to try spooling small nocturanl mammals in order to find their burrows and movement patterns but been unable to find a place that can supply spools
Hi Steven, we bought it at Cansew Inc (http://www.cansew.com). If you have any question, please send a email ([email protected]) because I don't see messages from RG frequently
Hi Steven, you could also try this company in the UK www.danfield.co.uk/, we used their bobbin spools for tracking movement patterns of frogs and snakes etc in Peru and at the time they said they could probably post to South America if we needed extras.
I also use Danfield bobbins. From memory they weigh about 5g and contain about 200m of thread. For animals too small for these I would remove thread from the bobbins to reach the required weight.
I looked on the Cansew website and couldn't find any cocoon bobbins on it, just ordinary spools. You need cocoon bobbins for this, anything else will hamper the movement of the animals and not give good results.
