0000415: Merchants' unpurchased small creatures can be placed in cages
Imported tame small creatures can be assigned to cages without buying them. The dwarves will go to the trade depot and steal the creatres to place them in one of your cages.
Wait for merchants to arrive with small tamed creatures. Assign the creatures to a built cage.

Seconded. (And I wouldn't have submitted the duplicate had this item shown up when I searched for small animals or cages....)

I was just about to report this. Stolen creatures appear in Stocks but not in Animals (is this normal for tame vermin or specific to stolen ones?)

Also I don't recall actually being able to buy the small creatures even if I'd wanted to - I'll pay more attention next time.

This may be the same as an old bug:

# 000327 □ [dwarf mode][jobs][animal handling] it lets you select merchant animals on the cage assignment list
