I have sent Livetrap.com 2 emails with a question about a certain trap that they sell. I have not yet received a reply from them. Maybe they don't know the answer. That makes me think that Tomahawk may be made by someone other than Livetrap.com.
I will just ask the question here. Will the,,,,,, 107.5SS - 10x10 Pro Double Door Trap,,,,, be sufficient for armadillo?
https://www.livetrap.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=32869
An elderly gentleman is wanting a trap for coon and armadillo. I know nothing of Tomahawk traps but I have heard good stuff about them. I like Comstock traps and Advanced Traps but I doubt that the elderly couple could set the Comstock double door.
Any help that yall could offer is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Rickey

Thanks for replying. I was wondering if 10" tall is enough as you will lose about 2" or so of that with the door sticking out.

Dillos are pretty blind so unless they bump the door and sets it off prematurely, they won't get claustrophobic

Yes, it'll be sufficient.

But, I won't spend my money with tomahawk as they are in bed with antis and cat nutters. They make a specific model and donate part of its sale price to anti groups.
I've had several discussions with the company owner over and its not just doing business, imo.

I have caught a good number of dillers. I thought coons were rough on a trap until I started messing round with them armadillos. Dillers will make a pretzel out of some trap doors. They can tear a non-quality door clean off of a trap. Advanced Traps and Comstock Traps would hold a rhinoceros if you could get him in it. Is Advanced Traps no longer in business? I may just take a Comstock trap out there to the elderly couple's place and see if they can set it. If Tomahawk truly is donating to anti's, I don't want to buy from them.

Yes, a few models. Jim still sells other models. Not sure if tomahawk makes those for him or not.

The Duke HD 12x12x30 hold the biggest coons we have without any trouble. Not sure why you'd need to spend more money than they cost for dillos.

Here's an example of what an armadillo can do in a short trip down the road. I don't use many cages for dillos. Mostly wooden traps. My transport cage is goat panel because anything less they tear through. A raccoon has nothing on an armadillo that wants out.

Jim Comstock has a setting tool that makes opening the doors very easy. I got one when my young nephew was helping me. It works great.

I listened to a podcast some time ago with Greg and Kyle talking about Tomahawk's products.

https://pestgeekpodcast.com › podcast Greg and Kyle Smith of Tomahawk Live Trap Company

One of the things that was commented on was that they have a specific trap for Armadillos. Didn't pay to much attention about that specific trap at the time, we got none up here yet.

Looking thru the Tomahawk catalog = model 108.7 Ridged trap with two trap doors 48x10x12. 1x2 x 12 ga. for armadillo. There could be others models.
I would give Tomahawk a call @ 800-272-8727 to directly talk with someone about recommendations for the specific application.

I give up trying to get the link to work the way it should.

I have 25 or more Tomahawk cage traps;most are double doors...only complaint is the pans get bent real easy and the tabs that hold the pans to the floor of the trap come unattached

Not trying to start anything, but I was about to pull the trigger on a Tomahawk 105SS for skunks, and if they support antis in any fashion, there's just no way.

Can someone confirm this?

Their website says they work in connection with some feral cat trap, neuter, release program. Not sure if that is the group in question or not. I don't know anything about the cat group.

Yes, that's the group in question. Opposed to fur trapping and most nuisance trapping and in favor of feral non native invasive decimating native wildlife and ecosystems yet the first to call for trapping when coyotes eat a cat.
