ANT MARCH 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

Works as advertised. Great heavy gloves.

Trap works well. Caught three feral cats and ring tail racoon. Was having issues with hooking door open managed to adjust by bending just a smidgen and it works good. Asked for return to Amazon due to door hook and they quickly responded by sending replacement. Thanks to my error of not taking time to adjust hook, I will have another great trap, rightly at my expense.

It arrives folded up and you have to assemble it. You ideally need tools to put it together, but I used wire ties to keep the solid end closed. The instructions are confusing, but once I figured it out, it worked perfectly. The gloves were super helpful, too. I was afraid to open the trap door to let him out, so I just cut the wire ties from the other end and he got out that way. I was concerned he would bend the wires and get out, but he did not. Worked well for the price.

The media could not be loaded. On May 30, I told my husband "I saw a kitten in our backyard last night". It was a great surprise to us! That night, we watched from our kitchen window this kitten eating the food I leave for strays. Following morning, that kitten was having a great time playing with the cat toys meant for 1 of the strays (I named Cathy). When Cathy saw the kid, she charged at it. Luckily, it escaped. Due to this incident, I worried for the safety of the kitten. I've decided to catch it and get it to a shelter. On June 5, I attended a podcast about TNR. And, I became certified on June 7. I bought this trap and couldn't wait for it to arrive. It came Wednesday night with a page of instruction, and I was able to assemble it within 30 mins. Yesterday morning (6/10) I tested the trap and it worked well. By 4 pm, the kid showed up and must have been hungry. It went inside and boom, it was trapped. Before 6 pm, I had turned him over to a Rescue shelter for adoption. The Rescue Admin said that it was a he, about 10 weeks old. During the few days, the kitten was just wonderful! I took a lot of videos and pictures of him playing in our yard, chasing squirrels, wandering around, etc. He had also evaded Cathy's attack twice. He slept in our garage. If we don't have pet birds in the house, we would certainly adopt that kitten. I will use the cage/trap to TNR all strays in our backyard from now on, and bring them to rescue centers. I miss the kid.

Item is very flimsy. Racoon escaped and bent up items in the cage. Do not purchase.

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.

I've used a variety of traps from different companies and while this isn't the worst trap I've ever seen it's got some flaws.A large or long necked cat can reach the bait at the back of the trap without setting it off. This is not the only trap I've ever seen this happen with but it's annoyingly frustrating all the same. I've had to set it up as a manually activated drop and wait for one animal that was consistently robbing food out of the trap without setting it off. Once I did that it worked fine but it's much better to set it and walk away and come back to a full trap rather than missing bait.Construction is not the sturdiest. I'd advise you pick something stronger if you want to catch racoons. It works OK for cats and possums though. I did end up having to permanently seal the back door of the trap which is a bummer because it makes baiting a lot harder. It's also annoying that the arm to operate the drop is INSIDE the cage and a frustrated animal trapped inside can knock it loose.The gloves that came with it are decent enough and will keep you from getting scratched but be warned that cats and racoons can bite through almost any leather glove if they want to.For the money it's good enough but I wish I could have bought something a little nicer.

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!
