Ferret captured in a Comstock Specialty Cage Trap
We get calls for specialty traps from time to time, different sizes and or configurations than what we have in our standard lines. With our manufacturer making the bulk of our products, we usually have the time to make customized traps in our shop when small numbers are needed for special projects. In this case it was ferrets being inoculated against Black Plague that required a different sized trap. Ferrets feed on ground squirrels that often have fleas that carry the Plague. If a ferrets is bitten by the infected fleas they will contract the disease and die with a few days. With ferret numbers low, an effort was made to catch, inoculate and then release the little weasels in order to protect them from disease in the future.
The trap we provided worked great. On the first night they had it out they went 2 for 2.
If anyone has a trap they can’t find in production traps and need a different size for instance, just give us a call and we will see what we can do to accommodate. Also, if anyone has ideas for a trap different from what is being produced that could be better than what is out there, we’d be more than happy to put one together if we can.
