You'll have to be there to close the door if you can trick him into getting in the cage. That is nearly impossible, but can be done if you take mesh screen and make a hole just big enough for the groundhog to enter the cage and not get out. You'll have to make a hole big enough and leave the frayed edges facing inside the cage, so when the trapped animal is in it will only get poked when trying to leave. Animal Control will lend you a great cage for a returnable $50 deposit. I'd go that way before spending a dime.
