Never tried one but the hill foxes up here seem to be highly educated,be interested to hear how you get on...

shouldnt be a problem if you do the job properly leave the cage open (unset)for a few days (weeks) if possible keep feeding them and let them get used to the feeding out the cage.! and without a doubt youl catch all charlies thats been used to being fed out the open cage .. this will defonatly do the trick

Here in the states there is a method called "drift fencing", which is done by using plastic or wire fencing like "wings" funneling the animal toward the trap door. This is done on both sides of a two door trap or just on one side if the cage trap only has one door or entry. It is somewhat effective in trapping urban foxes.

Bait and/or lure, of course would go into the cage trap.

 

I have only caught pup foxes in cage traps and one adult.

My method of snaring and using footholds are what I mostly rely on, but not legal everywhere, I understand.
