Unfortunately, all of our work with cage traps indicates that foxes are very hard to trap in this way. Cages may work quite well in suburban situations, especially with younger animals, but we have yet to find an effective cage trapping technique for foxes in the wider countryside. We are also concerned about the welfare of cage trapped foxes.
Our experience is that they are likely to suffer painful injuries in their attempts to escape the cage. Our advisory staff can help you devise the most appropriate fox control strategy for your situation, and may be you will want to attend one of our fox snaring training courses.
