Trapping is used to catch vermin (creatures so small that they are represented by a . ) This function is performed at a kennels or butcher's shop, and requires animal traps (not cages).

You can also trap animals by building a trap and baiting it. This is the only way to capture river, magma or chasm creatures such as the purring maggot

Like in the old version, there is a bug where only dwarves with the Trapping profession can make animal traps at the carpenter's workshop and metalsmith's forge. v0.27.169.33a

There is little use for vermin. Most can be tamed and then adopted by dwarves, if the dwarf has a preference for a particular type, which is rare. A few have extracts. Occasionally dwarves will eat them as food, even if you have plenty of available "real" food.
