Putting together a few more, and curious if there is a consensus on these measurements. Cages will be generally 12x20x36 and mostly for fox and bobcat in sensitive areas. Thanks.

I prefer a roughly center placed trap pan on live traps. A Nation of Sheep - Breeds a Government of Wolves!

Consider fox and bobcats to be longer leg longer neck critters so yes the peddle needs to be further back then if that’s what the traps intended for but In a pinch a short board placed closer to the door will extend the peddle to increase your chances.
