The trap needs to be big enough for hoggies to go in, as you need to feed them in the rat trap when you want to catch the rat, it is very simple, watch ratty go in on cam, then let string go, and shutter drops, make sure tail is well in lol, I made these with left over bits of wood  from a night club, so don t need thick wood, but its good for the shutter to be Quite heavy, you need the strong wire they sell for rabbits, the trap with the water holder is the holding cage, I can then catch two in the same night.
I have since made a new rat trap, its good to have a large wire door on top as you need to open it to put hoggies food in, and its handy to catch hoggy if he needs to be checked, and you need to lift him through the wire door, I did nt have a door on this trap, bit of a pain trying to put the food under the shutter, and would nt be very easy to get hoggy out if I needed to catch him.
Is it safe in here?
This is also a trap, its a bird feeder, they go in through the window, there is a shutter on the side, when I want to catch the rat, there is a sheet of wood thats sides over the window, ratty goes in under the shutter.
