Finished!
Your done! just set it on the ground and you'll have a caught guinea pig relatively soon!
If you haven't already realized how it works, here's a quick description.
The guinea pig goes in the trap to get the food. Then it will grab it, and try to bring it down to ground level. In doing this, it pulls the string, which in turn pulls the pin out of the way of the door, which then slides down behind the guinea pig. And voila! you have a caught piggy.
