Customer Reviews for VEVOR Live Animal Cage Trap, 31" x 10" x 12" Humane Cat Trap Galvanized Iron, Folding Animal Trap with Handle for Rabbits, Stray Cats, Squirrels, Raccoons, Groundhogs and Opossums

We have had a stray cat problem in our area and they're driving my dog nuts which in turn is driving me nuts. I used to have one of these but it was so big and bulky, I had gotten rid of it. I love that this can fold down compact. It was also very easy to set up. Now let's hope it catches what I need to!

As another reviewer mentioned, it is somewhat small, and probably better suited to squirrels and rabbits than anything bigger. Seems small to use for most cats. Certainly would need to be checked frequently to not harm the animal. It is sturdy enough to contain animals that fit in it, and was effective at capturing my target animal it's second night in service. It is worked, and is easy to use, but left me pondering some of their mechanical design choices. I would like to have seen a means of opening the door to release the animal that provided greater separation from my hand and the frantic animal. If I have need to use it again, I think I will rig a means of pulling the door open with a light cable or cord. In the end, it was effective, competitively priced, and did the job I needed done.

When the critters get to active in the yard it's time to send them packing to new horizons. Every Summer we end up with a gabazillion squirrels in the yard after the acorns dropped by our 2 very LARGE Oak trees. I trap the squirrels and take them up the mountain on the other side of town and let them go. Better there than in my back yard. The addition of this trap has allowed me to make fewer trips with more squirrels. This trap does its job perfectly and doesn't allow the squirrel to escape at all. I don't think this will keep the dang chipmunks trapped due to the wire hole sizes but squirrels it's perfect for. You can easily transport the squirrels in the trap. Just throw a towel over the trap to calm the squirrel and transport to its new home. Just incase, wear gloves when you open the trap for the squirrel to run out to its new home. Good luck and happy trapping.
