A box trap is a type of animal trap designed to capture small to medium-sized animals without harming them. It typically consists of a box-shaped enclosure with a door that closes when the animal enters. The trap is often baited with food to attract the target animal, such as rabbits, squirrels, or feral cats. These traps are commonly used for wildlife management, relocation, or research purposes. Box traps are favored for their humane design, allowing for the safe capture and release of animals. Proper placement and monitoring are essential to ensure effectiveness and animal welfare.
