Optional Elgeeco Refuge Cage

Grey squirrels are vulnerable to cold and wet weather and they may not survive if held captive for a long period or overnight in any open trap.

A covered Elgeeco Refuge Cage attached below the floor door provides a darkened weatherproof compartment into which a captured squirrel can retreat if it wishes.

Use of the optional Refuge Cage is recommended when traps cannot be checked more than twice a day during periods of bad weather or before nightfall.

In areas where red squirrels may be present, always provide nesting material and check the trap frequently.
