How can I make an animal trap to catch and release animals in a different place?
user
To make an animal trap, you will need two pieces of wood that can snugly fit together, some rope, some twine or baling wire and a bit of fabric or paper to create a funnel at one end. Start by tying the two pieces of wood together with the rope or twine so they can fit into each other loosely. Then cut a cone shape from the cloth and use it to stuff into one side of the trap and secure with more rope. To form a funnel at the other end of your trap, use three short stalks or dowels and weave them inwardly then nail them to create an entrance large enough for small animals such as mice to enter but not escape.

An animal trap that you can build yourself to catch and release animals in a different place would consist of a basic box-like structure made with natural materials such as sticks, string and glue. You could then bury it in the ground at your desired catch site, cover it with grass and leaves to camouflage it, and insert some food or an attractant like sweet smelling oil as bait. Once caught, you can gently unlatch the door of the trap and remove the animal without harm.
