Hi, I'm having major problems figuring out trapping. Read the wiki 5 times and more confused.
I want to take deer as the example, trap and have a 'deer in a cage'.
I'm not sure the difference between an animal trap, a cage, which and how to use. So I set 'animal trap's in an area with deer. No bait, the options don't seem very deer bait to me?
Will a deer wander into this? What about a 'cage'? If I buy an animal, they are in a cage, not an 'animal trap'.
Please help this is driving me madder than my glassmaker dwarf with strange mood waiting for glass on map with zero sand.

You need to build a cage trap, any animal that walks into the cage trap will automatically be caught.

Animal traps are small, more portable versions of a cage. Cages trap regular-sized creatures, while animal traps are for tiny "vermin" creatures like mice and toads.

For a cage trap, you also need mechanisms (made at the mechanic or forge) to set them.

This is what I was looking for. Thanks.
