I waited until I could properly test this cage before writing a review.The home I rent has several holes in the eaves of the roof and a family of possums that had been snacking on the fruit trees in my back garden decided it would be easier to just move in At night they were in thumping around in the roof and wall cavities.I placed this cage on a table next to the fence in the back garden with a towel over the top to disguise it and slowly but surely managed to catch all 4 of the possums over a few weeks the last possum I didnt even bait the trap it just wandered in and got capturedThere are a few drawbacks with the cage. Due to the low price several parts are quite sharp particularly the metal plate which forms the trap mechanism. I have put gaffer tape over the sharp corners and the edges of these parts that are likely to come into contact with any animal that enters the cage. The trapped animal will panic and hurt itself on these sharp edges.The instructions were somewhat confusing but I figured it out eventually.Really pleased with this purchase
