Managing nuisance wildlife requires the right equipment to ensure both operator safety and animal welfare. Selecting the correct live animal trap cage depends largely on the target species' length and behavior. 

 

The standard live animal trap cage (62.5 x 21.5 x 19.1 cm) serves urban backyards, attics, and community rescue operations. It targets stray cats, squirrels, rabbits, and small opossums. Its compact footprint fits easily beneath decks or inside cramped crawlspaces where larger traps cannot sit flat. A lightweight wire build makes rapid deployment simple, while the spring-loaded door locks reliably upon pedal contact. 

 

 

For larger rural or perimeter intrusions, the heavy duty live animal trap cage (83.5 x 29 x 31.2 cm) provides essential clearance. Larger raccoons, groundhogs, and stray dogs often back out of shorter cages when their tails touch an open door. The 83.5cm depth lets the animal step completely onto the internal trip plate before triggering the drop lock. 

 

Both models feature powder-coated matte wire to prevent rust and an enlarged steel plate beneath the carry handle to protect hands from bites and scratches. Match the 62.5cm unit to suburban garden pests and the 83.5cm unit to farm and wooded perimeter control.
