Check out the post on 'swim through beaver trap' for some ideas.  I have one and it has worked well. I can't remember the exact size, maybe 12"x12"x36"  or  14"x14"x36".   When you set it, try to place it completely underwater for a drowning set (more humane and minimizes fur damage).

thanks! well i think i got everything covered ( i really like the swim through beaver trap design) except for OTTER!
 made a cat cage to day (just the main cage part not the door, pan, or trigger mechanism)
if it flies it dies!
