Qualirey Live Animal Trap Cage 2-Pack 24.4 x 7.1 x 8.3 in — Foldable Steel Humane Catch-and-Release

The Qualirey 2-pack live animal trap is a foldable, steel one-door cage designed for humane capture and safe release of small to medium rodents and small mammals like raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, and feral cats.

This pair of collapsible traps gives homeowners, wildlife rehabilitators, and property managers a durable, reusable option for catching and relocating nuisance animals without harm. Built from steel wire mesh with a 1-inch grid and a single-door trigger mechanism, each unit measures approximately 24.41 x 7.09 x 8.27 inches (62 x 18 x 21 cm). The compact fold-flat design helps you store two traps easily in a garage or shed between uses.

How does the trap keep animals secure until you release them?

The Qualirey trap uses a single-door entry with a trigger plate that closes the door once the animal fully enters to feed. The 1-inch mesh reduces escapes while allowing clear airflow and visibility for humane observation. Solid steel construction and reinforced joints make the latch and frame resistant to bending from frustrated animals.

• Single-door trigger closure prevents premature escapes
• 1-inch wire mesh for secure containment and ventilation
• Steel frame and welded joints for durability under stress

Is the trap easy to set up, fold, and transport?

Yes — each trap arrives ready to use and folds flat for storage or transport without tools. The lightweight steel construction keeps individual trap weight manageable so one person can carry and position it. When folded, the traps stack neatly, saving space in vehicles or storage areas.

• Tool-free assembly and simple trigger setup
• Fold-flat profile for compact storage and transport
• Pair includes two identical traps for concurrent coverage

What species and situations is this trap best suited for?

The cage is designed for small to medium-sized mammals commonly encountered in yards and around structures: squirrels, groundhogs, raccoons, rats, gophers, and feral cats. It’s intended for catch-and-release or rescue use rather than extermination, so it fits situations where you want to relocate or safely transfer an animal to a wildlife professional.

• Appropriate for squirrels, groundhogs, rats, gophons, raccoons, and feral cats
• Good for relocation, rescue, or moving animals off property humanely
• Not designed for large predators or animals that exceed the listed dimensions

How do I maintain the traps to extend their lifespan?

Routine maintenance is simple: rinse and dry the cage after use, inspect welds and latches, and lightly oil moving parts if they become stiff. Because the traps are steel wire mesh, keeping them dry between uses prevents rust and preserves integrity. Store folded in a dry, ventilated area away from prolonged moisture or salt air.

• Rinse and dry after each use to prevent odors and rust
• Check latches and trigger for debris or wear before setting
• Light oil on pivot points if movement becomes stiff

Who is this for: The Qualirey 2-pack live animal traps suit homeowners managing garden or structural pests, animal control volunteers, small-farm operators, and wildlife rehabilitators needing humane, reusable cages. If you want durable, portable traps that fold for storage and deliver secure, one-door capture for small-to-medium mammals, this set provides a practical solution with two identical units to monitor multiple hotspots or rotate use.
