A collapsible trap (10) made from welded wire mesh, the trap comprising a box-like cage including a top section (11), a bottom section (12) and opposing side walls (13 and 14) hingedly coupled along top and bottom edges thereof by hinge clips so that the cage collapses in a parallelogram action. The cage includes a front door (15) that swings about a horizontal hinge axis on hinge clips (shown generally at 16) and a rear door (17) which swings about a vertical hinge axis (at 18). The rear door is shown ajar in phantom (at 19) and can be opened so that the trap can be baited. A trigger mechanism (23) is triggered by a drop floor (20) to retract a trigger bolt (27) to release the front door (15) to trap an animal which walks on the drop door.
