Jenner left the burrow because he didn't want to destroy the machines, but that was really just the last straw. He and Nicodemus were counterpoints to each other. Whereas Nicodemus was a big planner, Jenner was more practical. He did not think that they could go back to being "normal rats" and did not agree with The Plan. For example, in chapter 22 he says, "I say, why start from nothing if you can start with everything? We already have a civilization."
Jenner is killed when he is electrocuted at the hardware store trying to divert electricity. Mrs. Frisby hears the humans talking about it in Chapter 25, and tells the rats. This alerts them to the exterminators, which allows them to escape to Thorn Valley.
