The Elgeeco Refuge Cage is designed to be easily attached and easily removed from the Elgeeco Squirrel Trap and Bird Feeder.
Two hooks with springs are provided which simply hook on to the sides of the supporting trap.
The cage is made from 25 mm square mesh with 2mm diameter steel wire. The panels are fully welded to form a rigid box L 20 cm x W 20 cm x H 150 cm that is then zinc plated to provide a qualty weather resistant finish.
An entrance in the top 10 cm square aligns with the floor door in the trap. The Refuge Cage entrance is closable with a removable U shape pin which slides into eyes. The Refuge Cage can then be discretely removed from the trap with the squirrel locked inside to be dealt with elsewhere if required.
Refuge Cage
Grey Squirrels that cause damage may be trapped and killed - but only by legal and humane means.
The Elgeeco Squirrel Trap and Refuge Cage is the No. 1 Humane Live Trap option.
Grey Squirrels are hardy in the wild but they are vulnerable to wet and cold when confined in a cage that is open to the elements.
The use of a Refuge Cage is recommended when traps can not be checked frequently during the day and particularly before nightfall.
A Refuge Cage covered with a weterproof material provides the animal with shelter. The animal can also hide inside if it sees something it regards as danger.
Grey Squirrels inside a covered Refuge Cage are less agitated, less stressed and ultimately easier to deal with.
