Thealyn Animal Cage Trap 80 X 33 X 27 cm Double Door Animal Cage Trap Metal Trap Cage Humane Live Animal Trap for Rabbits, Stray Cat, Squirrel, Raccoon, Mole, Gopher, Opossum

Ideal. Did the job.

The trap doesn’t close, and when it does, the whole door falls apart so the animal can escape anyway. Tried for a week solid and the trap either fails or the door falls down, the trap doors are so tight the hardly shut, certainly not quick enough for a rat to get out anyway. The set up was difficult but having checked the instructions and had my dad look at it, it is set up properly. Very poor design. I’ll be returning.

Caught several foxes and despite their struggles they didn’t escape. Also caught a few squirrels.Initially the fox was just reaching in and taking the food. So I put one end of the trap against a wall and put the food at that end of the cage. The fox then had to cross the trigger to reach the food.Great it folds flat for storage. Easy to put together.Strong and able to contain a large fox. I recommend.

The media could not be loaded. I usually don’t write reviews, but made an exception for this one.We have wooden decking and had a family of foxes living under it in our garden, mama, papa and five cubs.Got this as a last resort (we tried building a ladder for the cubs to climb up and over the fence, but they just ignored it).We eventually managed to capture all five cubs, but through trial and error, we learnt the following:-1. The metal plates can get lodged at an angle, so be careful when setting up. Ensure the plates are sitting perfectly for it to fall down when the central plate is stepped on. Test it a few times to be absolutely sure.2. Wedge the cage so it cannot be tugged at and dragged by the foxes.3. It’s best to close one end, leaving only the other end open. Leave food at the closed off end so the fox has to go deep into the cage to step on the central plate. Also leave bait at the entrance to entice them in.4. I used plywood as a flooring for the base of the cage. The foxes will inevitably release some excrements once trapped. NB - ensure the central plate is not hindered by the flooring.Definitely would recommend as the trap is sturdy, foldable, reusable and most importantly it works - we managed to capture 5 cubs (2 on the first night and 3 the second night).Unfortunately I have to deduct one star as on two occasions the metal end plate did not fall down. On the first occasion it was wedged at an angle upon set up and the second time was after the cage was dragged around by one of the cubs.

great for catching magpies

Did what I needed it to do

Not complete very poor instructions as you can see from the pictures there is a hole in the door and no pins are supplied and when u check the instructions there are pins in the kits list so we improvised with two nuts and bolts

Fiddly to unpack and work out, but after a few testers we were happy to see how it panned out overnight. Bought this trap to help a stray cat, and it worked perfectly after a while of getting the hang of it. It's a big size so plenty of room to help capture. We purchased the 84x33x28cm.Make sure to test a few times so you get the hang of how it triggers and how to set back up ☺️ we will probably donate ours to a charity that helps capture, neuter and release cats now we've had our use out of it.
