Need help with soul cage.

[Pixelz]

I'm trying to make a Tier 1 Cow spawner to start my farm because all animals live very far from me so I traveled around and got 64 cows, put them in a soul cage but nothing happens. Here is a picture of the spawner. The dimensions of the room is 7x7 and height is 6. Can anyone give me a bit of insight as to why it wont work?

To much light?

Spawners work like normal spawners.....needing the same conditions to work....like darkness.

Edit:
Not waiting long enough?

The spawner doesn't run off a redstone signal....I think...need a Tier 5 for that.

Testing the darkness theory and I've waited several minutes, the normal wait should be 20 seconds

Passive mob spawners (cows, pigs, sheep, etc) as far as I know require grass blocks to spawn mobs on.
And if you don't want to wait for grass to grow all the way in there, use your minium stone.

Also, that is correct that only tier 5 spawners respond to redstone signals.

I tested out a Tier 1 cow spawner.....it needed day light and grass to spawn.....

I tried it indoors....i Might not have been close enough to the grass blocks though.
