Heavy Duty Animal Trap with Floor Plate (33 x 30 x 75cm) – Humane Live Cage Trap AT301

Humane Live-Capture Cage Trap for Medium-Sized Animals

This Heavy Duty Animal Trap is a live-capture cage trap measuring 33 x 30 x 75cm, built to catch medium-sized animals without harming them. When an animal steps on the floor plate inside the cage, the spring-loaded door closes behind it, holding it safely until you release or relocate it. The generous 75cm length suits a range of animals including possums, feral cats, rabbits and similar-sized pests, making it a practical choice for homes, sheds, farms and acreage across Australia.

The sturdy steel wire construction is designed to stand up to repeated use and to hold determined animals securely. Because it catches live and unharmed, it is a humane alternative to lethal traps and lets you deal with the animal responsibly.

How to Use

Place the trap on a flat, stable surface along a path the animal is known to use, such as near a fence line, shed or entry point. Set bait at the far end past the floor plate so the animal has to step fully inside to reach it (fruit works well for possums, meat or fish for cats and foxes). Set the door open and check the trap often, ideally at least once in the early morning and again in the evening, so any captured animal is not left distressed for long. Keep a captured animal calm by covering the trap with a cloth and placing it in a quiet, shaded spot, and always handle with care. Clean the trap between uses.
