An animal trapping device comprising:
- a base having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, two opposing sides, a lower surface, an upper surface opposing the lower surface of the base, and a base length separating the first and second ends of the base;
- a wire mesh cage assembly having a first end with a perimeter edge, a second end with a perimeter edge and opposing the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly, a wire mesh length separating the first and second ends, and two opposing side edges spanning the wire mesh length, the two opposing side edges defining a base opening and a width, the base selectively, freely, and removably disposed within the base opening;
- a first wire mesh entrance with a first end coupled around and beginning from the perimeter edge of the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly and defining an enclosed entrance opening around the perimeter edge of the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly, a second free end elevated above the upper surface of the base and defining an exit aperture, of a wire mesh configuration spanning from the first end of the first wire mesh entrance to the second free end of the first wire mesh entrance, and defining an enclosed entrance channel spanning from the enclosed entrance opening to the exit aperture of the first wire mesh entrance;
- and
- a second wire mesh entrance with a first end coupled around and beginning from the perimeter edge of the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly and defining an enclosed entrance opening around the perimeter edge of the first end of the wire mesh cage assembly, a second free end elevated above the upper surface of the base and defining an exit aperture, of a wire mesh configuration spanning from the first end of the second wire mesh entrance to the second free end of the second wire mesh entrance, and defining an enclosed entrance channel spanning from the enclosed entrance opening to the exit aperture of the second wire mesh entrance, the first and second wire mesh entrances, the wire mesh cage assembly, and the upper surface of the base defining an animal retention zone and the exit apertures of the first and second wire mesh entrances facing one another and at least partially aligned with one another without obstruction disposed between the exit apertures and within the animal retention zone.
