'''Cage traps will not capture every creature in the game''', so you ''will'' need alternative defenses – [[titan]]s and [[forgotten beast]]s (as well as certain [[Trapavoid#Creatures_who_avoid_traps|other types]] of creatures) are immune to traps entirely and will waltz right past all of your carefully placed cages unless the cage has a giant cave spider web on it. Some creatures are nimble enough to avoid setting off traps, or even escape it completely once triggered. A webbed cage trap '''will''' capture nearly anything ([[Fun|including even your own dwarves]]); the only creatures it cannot capture are those immune to both cage traps and webbing, such as a web-spinning forgotten beast or a dwarf from your fortress on a Collect Webs job. | '''Cage traps will not capture every creature in the game''', so you ''will'' need alternative defenses – [[titan]]s and [[forgotten beast]]s (as well as certain [[Trapavoid#Creatures_who_avoid_traps|other types]] of creatures) are immune to traps entirely and will waltz right past all of your carefully placed cages unless the cage has a giant cave spider web on it.

In the process of taming a wild animal, there is a chance that seeds will be left in the cage. Dwarves ''only'' load empty cages into traps. One way to remove the seeds and make the cage usable again is to {{K|d}}ump them. First loo{{K|k}} at the cage in your Animal [[stockpile]], then highlight the seed and press {{K|Enter}} to look at the seed, then press {{K|d}} to dump the seed. | In the process of taming a wild animal, there is a chance that seeds will be left in the cage.
