Does this trap come 100% setup & ready to use or do I have to set it up meaning that it comes collapsible?

It comes collapsed. It took me a few minutes to set it up. The advantage is that when it is not in use it takes up very little space in the garage.

It comes collapsed, but it is very easy to set up. Especially easy after you have done it once as see how it works.

It comes collapsible. Its easy to set up. Its so easy to use my kids set the trap all the time.

This trap is collapsible but sets up easily within 2 to 5 minutes. Can be collapsed for easy storage until needed again.

I arrives collapsed but as you raise it up it unfolds into place. There are one or two pins for the release door but I would class this assembly as child's play. One word or warning though. If you are going to release them you need to figure out a plan to open the release. It is on the edge of the cage and they can bite that area. By God Raccoons are fierce when trapped. Relocating them is the most difficult part of this process. Assembly is a breeze.

Yes it is collapsible. It takes about 5 minutes to get it back into its case. It does take at least 2 people to put up and take down. I have had it a month and used it 3 times and have not had any problems.

Yes it's extremely easy to set up and collapse. It literally just opens in seconds and folds back closed. I love it for my 3 year old!

I didn't put it in a trap, I just opened the pack and it worked fine for me. I used it in an outbuilding and it worked.

Observe the photograph of the trap. There are wire fixtures on each end that flip down and engage in tabs to hold the doors closed. When you want to release the trapped animal, you flip those wires up. When you want to trap, you flip them to the outsides so when the doors fall, the wires drop into the locking position. You probably just have them flipped the other way. Flip them to the outsides when setting the trap and you should be all good.

Watching the youtube video is the easiest way to understand how to set it up. Also, when you go to fold it up I had to turn it with the instructions facing down toward the ground to get it to fold up properly. Not sure why but that was the only way it would fold up.

Do you mean to get the dog out of the cage, or do you mean how to you extract the cage and set it up out of the box. As I wrote in my review, it is hard to get the item out and set up initially.

Yes, super easily! You remove two rids from the floor and two rods from the roof, then you just squish it together. It almost looks like a hoop when it's closed up - the middle is hollow. Less than 1 minute to set up and take down, and it stores flat in its box.

Once you have all your hooks and stuff in place it only takes about 5 minutes or so to set up and take down. Kind of difficult to get it tight but with a little imagination it can be done.

Katrina,There are two traps. You willremove the smaller from the larger and use separately. Jim

Havahart has to do with this trap being kind to the animal and not cruel. I don't think that denotes ease of use. It actually is easy to set as a trap, although my rabbit never got caught in it.

Yes. The best trap I have ever gotten. Just have to be careful of spilling them.

It is very easy to set up. Take down is a little more time consuming (but not difficult), because you have to get all the air out of the bounce house. But it can be done with only one person. The storage bag is bigger than it need to be, which is helpful when putting the bounce house back into the bag.

This is a rectangular box as shown that is open on both ends. The trap itself is the sticky paper; the box simply keeps the sticky surface clean until something enters the box. I caught a 2 foot long snake in the trap and he struggled hard enough that he and the sticky part of the trap came out of the box. It was pretty evident that I had trapped something. I am certain that one could rig up a device as you suggest, but this would add a mechanical device that may discourage a snake from going into the box.

The trap must be reset after it goes off however I have found two mice in it at once. I think however they went in together.

I only used it once so far, but it was an easy set-up. The poles are "permanent", not separate. You just swivel out the poles & push the top up. If you watch any of the videos of the Coleman instant tents, you'll get the idea. I love it.

it comes with nothing. I bought this for my grandson and bought line to attach to the trap, also, there is no place to put the bait. when they tried to tie the bait into the trap it was stolen every time. Sorry, they did not like this trap at all.
