前5名最佳负鼠/负鼠陷阱和笼子（** 2021评论**）

What Is an Opossum Trap?

While there are no specific traps that are specially marketed for opossums, there are a few different traps made for larger-sized nuisance animals like raccoons, feral cats and—you guessed it—opossums.

Generally, these traps work by using spring-loaded mechanisms attached to the baiting platforms. However, the jargon in the product descriptions can get a little confusing, so keep reading below. We’ll break down what this means and shed a little insight on how these traps work.

“弹簧加载”是什么意思？

Essentially, each trap is a giant metal rectangle made of steel bars meshed together. On the inside, there is a platform which is attached to a spring. This spring also connects to the door.

该平台的目的是握住诱饵，以吸引负鼠进入陷阱和平台上，其重量将激活弹簧。弹簧绊倒后，门将折断，将动物缠在里面。

What Stops the Opossum from Escaping?

Because the door is snapped shut from the outside, it’s nearly impossible for an animal trapped inside to escape. The galvanized steel design of most traps prohibit tampering with the door from the inside, and usually, the nuisance animal on the inside simply isn’t strong enough to push open the door to the trap.

More often than not, these animals are much too scared and confused to even attempt to tamper with the trap, and will wait until they are set free.

将现场负鼠捕获只会搅动它吗？

While any animal trapped in a confined space will become agitated and scared, rest assured that a caged opossum poses no significant danger to humans.

It’s不大可能that opossums are able to carry rabies, despite the catatonic state they appear to slip into when they become scared. In fact, an opossum in captivity may evenappear to be dead—these animals have popularized the term “playing ‘possum” due to their tendency to slow their heart rates and go limp for periods of time.
