just leave it open and unable to go off for a few days so they get use to it and go in to eat the bait, after a few days set it properly

I've had a few that persistently try to eat the bait through the mesh. Solved this by standing some paving slabs round the end of the cage.

Hi mate I've cage trap loads of foxes make sure the floor of the trap has got dirt over it I dig about 2 to 3 inches out to put the trap in then put logs or some thing round the trap so all that is showing is the door and set it up where you can see the door from 20 to 30 feet away bait it up good luck
