I recently started played Dwarf Fortress, and not knowing that it wouldn't catch normal animals I caught some vermin from the Kennel. Now I have some rats and stuff sitting around in an animal trap on a stockpile, and I want to get rid of them either just be gone to free up space or release them to do something.(Maybe someone wants a pet rat/hedgehog/roach?) I've been trying to, but I just can't figure out how to. Can anyone tell me how?

2I already tried that, but it's an animal trap not a cage. I can't connect a lever to it, and I can't build it to take it off the stockpile either.– UllallullooCommented Aug 12, 2010 at 16:33

You can tame the small animal at the kennel, and then they can be used as pets. Some pets have a high value and can be used to make useless dwarves nobles happy.
To release the (now tame) animal use q to query the cage, a to assign, and then use enter to toggle the animal(s) currently inside (animals assigned to the cage will have a green + next to them). Any available dwarf will perform the job. (Source)

Yeah, I have them tamed, but I thought they couldn't be adopted as pets until they're released... Commented Aug 12, 2010 at 22:25

1@Ullallullo I corrected my answer, I thought taming automatically released them, but I see otherwise.– C. RossCommented Aug 12, 2010 at 22:55

Yep, thanks. I figured that out about the time of your edit when I was setting my jail up. Commented Aug 12, 2010 at 23:39

So, I've got the exact same problem. A bunch of traps (NOT CAGES) with tame vermin in them. I still can't figure out how to get them out. I don't want to make them pets, I just want them out of those traps for reuse. Help?– slacyCommented Aug 2, 2012 at 6:00
