CHEAPER can be BETTER ! Updated to 2nd purchase...
HURRY UP AND BUY ! For the price it's a great deal. I researched for HOURS X MANY late nights to find the best possible deal. I found one that was about 10.00 more because I liked the reviews and then I found this one that was much cheaper. I figured it would b a cheap back up and I was curious considering the price difference if it would hold up to the more pricier one. The difference: The more expensive one was bit bigger and cage seemed a bit sturdier. The trigger mechanism was almost too touchy and would deploy b4 I could finish bating it. Because u have to put the bait at the far end of cage away from the door (where the trigger plate is) u practically have to hold ur breathe while slowly, steadily reaching in the cage to bait it and then back out without touching any part of the cage. Gets REALLY frustrating after the 3rd try. Then as ur pulling ur arm out of the cage, Slow n steady u have to use ur other hand to hold the 2 trigger arms on the outside and other side of cage together until you're arm is completely out of cage. Like a game of operation. Those arms are really sensitive too. I had to file those 2 arms down to adjust the sensitivity. It WILL deploy with a TINY tap and the landscaper even set it off with a leaf blower from about a 20ft away. **Now back to THIS item. The cage is a bit more light weight gauge BUT with any cage/trap u HAVE to check it every day otherwise any rodent will chew right thru them (escape or defeat) and that's where most ppl screw up and them blame it on the manufacturing. This has a better trap mechanism which is much easier to set and once deployed it seemed to reinforce the door keeping the door closed and locked down. I didn't need the patience to set this trap compared to the more expensive one. I would definitely recommend that u buy this one as its about 1/2 the price or 2fer 1 deal, right? The set up is better, easier and cheaper. It definitely does the job and that's all u really need. Save some money and hit the buy now button. I already did the research for you. Ther longer you wait... well u know. The more you have to set traps over and over again. Updated 1.10.19- This trap is totally worth it. Like I said earlier... U MUST check them periodically. I set in the evening and check in the morning. So far every time I have the put it out I have a cute but "property destroyer" sitting in the cage bright and early n the am its like clockwork. This is the BEST one by far, out of 4 different traps that I purchased. I really like that they are "LIVE CATCH" so that I do not need to worry about harming the cute critter (squirrels) but that I can release it FAR FAR AWAY. The ONLY ISSUE is that they use a thin gauge wire for the caging, making it easier to chew thru. I can't say it enough...check the cage frequently. Besides that small guage a critter FINALLY was able to chew a hole through it. HOWEVER... i am buying another today hence my updated review. Changing review to 5* . My average with this cage n the last 6 months 10/10 and counting. All catch & release. Very pleased considering 1 acre and full of wildlife. Can't bare the thought of putting them out but sending them on a vacation far far away, I can do that easily... now just need a better means of transporting them.

Great trap!
Cats brought a chipmunk into house and it got away. Tried a squirrel mesh trap. It trapped chipmunk but while watching it scramble around in cage, saw it escape through 1" square holes in trap. Wouldn't have believed it if hadn't personally observed. Bought this much smaller trap and it worked great. Took pesky rodent outside and released. Very nice trap. One recommended improvement would be a flip up handle. You currently carry trap by the end loop. But animal racing around inside makes holding it unstable. Otherwise, super product. Would highly recommend. I also gave our 2 cats a stern talking to, about bringing animals into house, so confident of no repeat of this problem.

Worked great!
Trap worked great! I think I put it out an hour ago and it already caught a mouse. I added some makeshift string handles because some people mentioned it was hard to pick up without them (word to the wise if you decide to add handles: make sure they aren’t in the way of the rigging mechanism because the door won’t close properly if so) Also be sure to check the trap often because there were already ants nipping at him within the hour. Only way I could suggest improvement to the product is the addition of handles, but it wasn’t hard to add some myself. Very sturdy and easy to set up!

Do not dump your pets, people, no matter how small or exotic!
For a week or so, my roommates and I heard about a fancy rat loose in our complex. Then we spotted him ourselves. There's no way to know how long he'd been outside, but he wouldn't let us get within five feet. To our complex, a rat was a rat, and it didn't matter that he was an abandoned pet; they began laying poisoned-bait traps. My roommates and I immediately jumped into action, ordering this product and filling it with more enticing food to keep him appeased, stationary, and uninterested in the poisoned traps. After a week of catching nothing, and forty-eight hours of no sightings, we feared he'd fallen victim to a predator or one of the other countless urban dangers a rat faces. Then we heard the metallic rasp of the closing trap, and lo and behold, there he was. With this no-kill trap and some watermelon and angel hair pasta, we were able to successfully capture this little guy. It's been a couple weeks now, and we've named him Sinbad (Full name: Sinbad Cornelius Ratmen). We are temporarily fostering him until a proper home opens up in the rat rescue network we have in our state. He is around 3-4 months old and is disease and ailment free. Sinbad was very frightened the first few days after his capture, but has since fallen back into his bred-in dependency on people. He still has his little traumatisms--his moments of fear and survivalist wariness--but has never once lashed out and bit. He is sweet, gentle, and patient--a total angel. Sin-Sin has been making remarkable strides down his speedy path to a permanent home. I reiterate: DO NOT DUMP YOUR PETS, PEOPLE! It doesn't matter how exotic they are. No, they will not regress to their "natural state". That means nothing. They have been bred and conditioned to depend on people! That is their natural state! They do not possess the same physical and mental capabilities as their wild parallels. Sinbad, as you can glean from the photos, stands out like a sore thumb; a bright dinner-time beacon for a hawk or coyote to spot. I gave this product a 4-star overall rating, because I wish there was some sort of cushion on the end of the shutting door. The fast-closing door clipped the end of his tail, making a small laceration. It's since healed with no lasting damage, but I'm sure it hurt like hell and scared him worse. I feel that such a contraption ought to ensure the animal's safety by either dulling or cushioning the edges, lest it becomes a guillotine for the tail of any animal either slightly too large or not fully inside. 5 stars for easy to use 5 for being scentless (A good thing for a product designed for capturing cautious animals.) 3 for easy to clean (There is no way I'm getting all the mashed watermelon and spaghetti bits out of the nooks and crannies.) But these are very minor critiques, if that. Without this product and its swift delivery, we likely would've never caught him. Sinbad unbeknownst owes his life to this product, and us, our gratitude. Thank you. Again, do not dump your animals, people. Or better yet, don't get an animal you're not 100% prepared to take care of in the first place.

No other little cage works as good as this one!
These are the best cages! I bought one to livetrap little ground squirrels (to release elsewhere) that had been digging everything out from under our cement patio. I have now caught more than 35 this summer. I also caught a lot of mice , and I even caught a sparrow once. I have never put any bait in the cage (though it suggests you do). Just set it. Surprisingly, the mice are drawn to this cage more than they are the standard baited mouse traps. Both are set in the same area. I decided to buy 2 more cages so that when I set them, I hope to catch more than one to release elsewhere at the same time.

Works well, easy to use, effective design
Mine works great for pretty large rats and small baby rats. The key to making it sensitive enough for very small animals is to lubricate the tiny ring that holds the latch for the door. I mention the ring because mine rusted. Lubricate every place it's metal on metal. Mine has a handle made of two L-brackets, some bolts, and a dowel. This keeps my hands far enough away they can't bite me. They aren't happy about it, you wouldn't be either. The way you open the door keeps your fingers away as well. If the animals injure themselves on the food plate just use duct tape. Put a small flag on a dowel on the door and then you can see from a distance if it's got something. You could rig a bell. Mine is sturdy enough that I have been using it for years with a little care. No, you can't drive over it. 5 stars because it is effective, relative inexpensive, and works.

Over-sized and overly complicated for the smallest rodents
Overly complicated for its size, but it does catch mice. It resembles a small version of Hav-a-Hart humane traps. Both are metal cages and complicated but this Kensizer trap is unnecessarily more difficult to bait. I also found that the trigger plate is not sensitive enough for the very smallest field mice to trip. I did manage to catch a couple, but a few others simply got a free meal. I went back to cheaper and smaller plastic humane traps that are easier to bait, more sensitive to trigger, and more appropriate in size.

The best solution that I've found
The Kensizer 2-Pack Animal Humane Live Cage Trap is a great solution if you want to relocate some things without harming them. They are easy to set up, release, clean out, and reset. The build quality is nice, and I like that I can tell from a good distance away wether or not the trap has been triggered shut by if the the long U shaped door handle is sticking up or not. This pack of Kensizer humane live traps are effective and safe.

Safe, for the animal and your peace of mind
I Love the fact that the small animal can be trapped safely and relocated. The conventional rat and mice traps are absolutely barbaric - the poor little critters just wanna live!

Sorprendente
Fue realmente sorprendente ver cómo en 3 horas ya había capturado al roedor. Solo seguí la recomendación de otro comprador de amarrar cacahuates al fondo de la jaula, y si, en tres horas cumplió su función

Effective!
Good human trap for it's price. Place a heavy object on cage ( in a way that does not stop it operating) as our first Asian house mouse managed to get out after the trap being triggered. The dog may have had some role in that but I am uncertain.

20min and the mouse was trapped!
My first ever review of a product on amazon but I’m still shocked how well this worked. We put it and 20min later the mouse was caught!!!
