Live Animal Cage Trap 32''x11.5"x13" Steel Humane Release Rodent Cage with Gloves for Rabbits, Stray Cat, Squirrel, Raccoon, Mole, Gopher, Chicken, Opossum, Skunk, Chipmunks, Groundhog

Worked great, caught a stray juvenile cat in about an hour. I had it out over night with the food right outside the cage so the cat would think nothing of it. Then the next morning I put it inside the cage and got it. Its a big size,easy to assemble, was sturdy and held up nicely when the cat was trying to escape. I liked the gloves it came with but didn't need to use them. This was the best value for money because of the size and additional glove. It was also delivered a day early.

These traps will work well enough for a medium sized animal such as an Armadillo. I caught a relatively big one in it. Maybe 20 lbs. or so. The rear door is good for letting the animal out of the trap without getting your fingers in there, but it is a bit awkward. It would be good if they provided a more convenient latch on it. The trap works, but it isn't the sturdiest. The trigger plate inside the trap bent and it was difficult to get it working correctly again. Remember not to allow the floor plate trigger to fall in the opposite direction when you are unloading the trap with a heavy animal in it. The gloves are a nice addition, and I suspected they would be cheap. But I was pleasantly surprised at their quality. Remember to use the gloves when working with the cage with an animal in it. I don't think being scratched by a wild animal would be a good thing.The armadillo was able to destroy the lawn underneath the trap by sticking his claws out of the holes in the bottom. It might be a good idea to protect the lawn by placing something over it first before placing the trap. Just a thought.

The media could not be loaded. This trap had some weak spots and I knew it going in, as other reviewers had mentioned it. So from the start I was prepared to reenforce the trap as best I could. I clamped the crimps tighter and added steel carabiners to each door to keep trapped animals from escaping. You can look at my photos and the extra hardware are circled in yellow. I also crimped the trip rod onto the spring to keep it from just hanging loosely! And used the carabiners to keep the rods that hold both doors and the cage shape firmness as well. I don’t plan to fold this up again. I just don’t want and escape! I paid $350. for a dead opossum removal from my crawl space 2 years ago OMG the stench was unbearable. I saw one on my security camera 6 days ago. It has to go! Update 2 opossums caught so far and 1 on the loose. But I will get that one too. They were a catch and release far from my home out in the country. I used caramel rice cakes with peanut butter and marshmallows. The trap is working fine.

Been having a problem with groundhogs this year. My cairn terrier has killed 2 and he got slightly wounded fighting 2 others. I absolutely hate groundhogs. After the last incident my vet put my dog on quarantine because of the latest groundhog encounter. So I decided to start playing hardball. Bought this trap and over the past 1.5 months I’ve caught 6 groundhogs. Baited the trap with watermelon slices which really works great. Been letting the groundhogs go free in a county park about 5 miles away. Really glad this trap came with the long heavy welders gloves when handling the trap because I worry about getting bitten by their long, strong teeth. The only negative thing I have to say about this trap is that the instructions are nebulous. The good news is someone created a YouTube video showing how to assemble the trap.

One catch only. It stopped working. It does not release the gate. I keep losing all the baits. I even tried to push the plate with a stick to release and close the gate/trap, but it does not work all the time. Animal must be too heavy to release and close the gate. No obvious warranty information.Only one catch during the first month. and that is it.. I would not recommend it.

It works great for cats or opossums. But a raccoon of any size will destroy it. I've been trying to trap a raccoon with a broken leg and the first time she went in she just brute forced her way out. So I bought a set of hog rings pliers and reinforced all joining points along the side. Second time she tore the back door off from the inside

This is a great rodent catcher. Although I did not catch the rodent that was digging in my yard, because it had moved on, it, I believe it would have it had stayed. Easy to set up and very fair for the price. Will hold on to for future rodent issues!

great, does what it says...however, advice, the arm hook to the trip plate needs to be crimped on with pliers as with this manufacturer it is very loose and falls off easily
