Solutions Humane Live Animal Trap
-
Trap is not trippingI was really hoping this trap would be the "suburban" solution to reducing the number of rabbits living under my deck & eating my landscaping. After loading the trap as described & leaving it out overnight, we have woken up 3 mornings in a row to find the food gone inside the trap but the trap not tripped. If I put my hand inside the cage & trigger the trap myself, it flips the door. It does feel like I have to give it some real pressure to get it to snap. Apparently it is not sensitive enough to trip when a small animal is inside snacking on carrots (?). Either that or we have super sneaky critters! Disappointed.

Simple and effective.I live in a heavily wooded, isolated area of Central Texas. Raccoons (and Coyotes) rule the night out here. This trap easily holds a 40lb raccoon with room for it to turn around, sit up or lie down until released. It is well made, very sturdy and easy to set. The only negative is that it weighs 25lbs empty. That weight plus an adult raccoon makes it somewhat awkward to carry with the single wire handle in the middle of top on outside of the trap. I wld recommend this humane, live animal trap.

Pleasantly surprisedAfter using a competitive brand of trap that had to be assembled and was a challenge to set, I was pleasantly surprised by the greater ease of setting this already assembled trap and its flawless functioning; I can recommend this product without reservation.

The trap was and is easy to set. I can put food in easily and feel safe when I let the critters go. It is easy to clean.

Did not work properly.The rod connecting to the tray at the bottom of the cage seemed to be too long. When set, the tray was practically at the bottom of cage (nearly horizontal), and pressure on the tray did not set off the trap. I probably should have sent this back, but I kept it and tried to fix it by shortening the connecting rod. It worked a little better, but haven't caught a squirrel yet, and overall I'm very dissatisfied with the trap.

Not YetHaven't set it yet because its a little stiff. I want to use it on a squirrel. I think I can file it down. I don't want to use lubricant because of the smell. Great size and price.

Laughable that they recommend this for feral hogs.This trap works well for raccoons, squirrels, feral cats etc but such a joke that anyone would recommend it for feral hogs. A 300# hog is not going to even fit his head in this trap. Use it only for small animals, and laugh at the suggestion you use it for hogs. Seriously, edit your page
