Does this look about right?  Freshest diggings that I saw.  I'll add some wood to the bottom next.

How about a little help here huh?

I think you'll have a better, higher, fence if the boards are staked on edge,  and I'd open the funnel angle (~120`-140` rather than the <90` that you have) some to take in more area; but yeah that's the idea. When the animal comes to the fence it will turn and follow it as long as the angle to it's chosen direction travel isn't too abrupt.  Much as we would when encountering a bluff. The cage seems like a break in the fence. So, you need the funnel to open in the direction of the den, or from where you think they are coming. And the longer the fence is the greater the chance of an crossing the path of travel.

That said, this is just theory to me. I've not trapped armadillos myself, although I have had several online discussions of it with people that did it for pay.

Looks good but set the 2x4's on their edges and use a couple of pegs behind them to hold them up.
