The Wippbrettfalle is a type of trap hunting live trap used to catch various types of predatory animals. The Wippbrettfalle is classified as a box trap and is triggered when the animal steps on the attached wobble board inside the trap. The flaps at the entrances of the trap then close, and the locking mechanism attached to them ensures that the animal cannot push them open from the inside, thus it is permanently caught alive. If there is a ban on catching mouse weasels, a escape hole must be provided.
