A few days ago I had the idea of wanting to catch a Rat and keep it in a cage as a pet or either try random experiments on it. So I went to Petsmart to see how mush a cage would cost and for the most part they were all near $80 so I decided against that. I went to HomeDepo and spent $20 and built this cage in the picture.
As you can see the cage worked and I caught a mouse. I was trying to catch a rat so I took it out and got rid of it.
Trying to figure out how to bait it was the hard part. I had a spring loaded door but I needed to attract the mouse/rat and make the door close once the animal went in.
