Gardeon Animal Trap Cage Possum 150x50cm

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this possum trap cage work for other Australian animals?

Yes, the Gardeon 150x50cm trap cage is versatile enough to capture various pest animals common in Australian backyards. The 5 x 5cm mesh and 150x50x53cm dimensions make it suitable for possums, rabbits, foxes, and other medium-sized animals. However, you must check your state's regulations before trapping any species, as different states have different laws about which animals you can legally trap and how. Always contact your local council or wildlife authority first to confirm what you're allowed to trap in your area.

Is the Gardeon animal trap cage humane?

Yes, this is a humane trap cage designed to capture animals alive without injury. It features a spring-loaded door with an automatic locking system that operates swiftly and safely. The cage has a protected handle, and the galvanised iron wire construction with 4.1mm cage wire thickness is sturdy enough to contain animals securely without sharp edges. The collapsible design also means you can safely store and transport trapped animals to a release point with minimal stress.

How quickly will I receive this from Yarra Supply?

Delivery times vary depending on your location within Australia. Yarra Supply delivers across the country, but we recommend checking the shipping details at checkout for your postcode to get an accurate delivery estimate. Given the cage weighs 15kg, standard delivery typically takes 3-7 business days. If you need it urgently, contact Yarra Supply directly to enquire about express delivery options.

What if the trap cage doesn't suit my needs?

Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy, so if the possum trap cage isn't what you expected, you can return it within 30 days for a refund or exchange. Make sure to keep your receipt and packaging. This gives you peace of mind when ordering online—if it doesn't meet your needs, you're covered.

How do I set up and use this animal trap cage?

Setup is straightforward. The cage has a collapsible design, so it arrives flat-packed and can be assembled in minutes. Operation is simple: place bait inside (fruit, vegetables, or commercial possum bait work well), position the cage where you've seen animal activity, and wait. The spring-loaded door triggers automatically when the animal enters and hits the bait plate. The automatic locking system ensures the door closes swiftly and securely. The protective handle makes it safe to carry the cage once an animal is trapped.

Is the 150x50cm size the right cage for possums?

Yes, the 150x50x53cm dimensions are ideal for possums and similar-sized animals. The large size ensures the animal has enough space to move without injuring itself, which is important for humane trapping. At 15kg, it's heavy enough to be sturdy and prevent escape but light enough to move around your backyard or transport if needed. The galvanised iron wire construction is also rust-resistant, so it will hold up well in Australia's variable weather.

Can I use this cage permanently or is it just for temporary trapping?

This is designed as a temporary trap cage for capturing animals alive, not as a permanent enclosure. Once you've trapped an animal, you should release it or contact a local wildlife removal service within a reasonable timeframe. The collapsible design makes it easy to fold away and store when not in use, so it's perfect for keeping on hand for when you need to deal with a pest problem in your backyard.
