Your cart is empty. This professional portable pop up house is for rearing and breeding butterflies, praying mantis and other bugs. Professional version butterfly enclosure is more square, sits straight, does not rock or move. When unfolded the pavilion measures: 15.7 x 15.7 x 23.6 inches.
Butterfly growing kits package includes:
1 x Butterfly Habitat Terrarium.
1 x Quick start guide manual.
Instructions:
1. BE careful when opening the Big, Tall monarch butterfly tents- after you slip off the elastic strap from around the circle, the cube cage can pop open unexpectedly so make sure you have plenty of space and no breakable objects close by.
2. After opening your net cage, the PVC side will be creased from folding. Get the creases out quickly by blow drying the PVC with a hair dryer for about 5 minutes, or place PVC toward warm sun to relax wrinkles.
3. Always close the cage door so the zippers meet at the TOP CENTER. If a caterpillar is somewhere on the zipper, this will allow you to zip down the other side to open.
4. Clean the mesh cage after a disease outbreak or at season's end by soaking it in a 5% bleach solution (19 parts water to 1 part bleach) for about 20 minutes. The cage can be soaked in a tub or laundry tub.
5. Rinse your butterfly garden with water and then let it sun dry- hang it on a clothesline or put a rock on the floor so it won't blow away.
6. When folding the cage for storage, place your hands on opposite upper corners of the cage and press one corner in to fold the cage flat.
7. Store the cage flat in a closet, under bed, behind a couch, etc..

We bought a female jumping spider from a breeder. It was for sale not for breeding. Turns out it was pregnant. Now we have 100 babies and are trying to care for them the best we can. This item was very helpful with containing the babies so we can separate them and feed them. They are cute.Good valueEasy to useWorks exactly like it shouldKeeps baby spiders safeZipper closes tight

Liked seeing the caterpillars turn into butterflies. Worked well and I get to use it again this spring!

We absolutely are so glad we purchased the insect cage. We have a Monarch Butterfly Garden, so we get many caterpillars seasonally. At times, when the weather is sketchy, and we feel the caterpillars may not survive the weather, we will get a potted butterfly milkweed and slide it by the caterpillar. Once it moves onto the potted plant, we take it inside and into the cage it goes.We have saved many caterpillars and have watched as they transition to their beautiful butterfly stage, and we release them outside. It was a wise purchase, and we even bought another one, as needed.

We got this along with pink lady butterfly catapillars and it worked beautifully! Large enclosure, easy to see through, and the zipper was perfect.

This was my first year raising monarchs, so I had to kind of guess what size I needed and this one worked well. The 3-sided zipper made it easy to move things in and out. The solid bottom was easy to clean. Most of my monarchs attached to the top netting, and two that fell were easily reattached with a small drop of hot glue. I took it outside on nice days and out it in the sun - had to weight it down on breezy days but that was no prob and the carrying handles made it easy to transport my chrysalises outside. I plan to use it again next year!

After my milkweed plants attract butterflys to lay their eggs, when the caterpillars get to about half of their adult size, I bring them into the cage & into my screened porch, to continue eating and growing to full size, where they form the chrysalis's. I enjoy taking part in this beauty of nature, from birth to release of the lovely butterflys. The cage is adequate and I recommend getting the one with the plastic see-through panel on one side (like this one) - it's so much better to see more detail inside the cage. And I made a "floor" out of cardboard (from a large box), and covered it in plastic to keep it dry. I layer some paper towels on top of my floor, which makes it simple to clean when the caterpillars poop. Also, the floor adds to sturdiness when I carry the cage outside with the 2 loop handles on top, to give more sunlight to the milkweed plants as the caterpillars are devouring them.

This enclosure will be absolutely perfect to keep a milkweed plant in to raise caterpillars. It is the perfect size--not too large but just spacious enough. It has a lovely double zipper that allows you to open one side to take a plant in or out. The mesh is small enough that the caterpillars can safely climb on it without risk of injury, and it is relatively easy to see though for observations. I am completely satisfied with this, and we are considering purchasing a second.In the spirit of complete honesty, our enclosure is currently being used for a grasshopper habitat. We live in southern California and have been under stay at home orders for Covid-19 for three months now. We have one young daughter who has been lonely, so we adopted the baby grasshopper that we found in our yard. The grasshopper seems delighted with his upgraded habitat and is thriving. Our daughter loves that she can decorate his home, change its orientation, and see her grasshopper crawling up and jumping off the sides. This has already been worth every penny.

volière très pratique car j'élève les monarques et je les garde dans cette volière lorsqu'il pleut

Es muy ligera, de buena calidad y fácil de limpiar y de guardar. Lo único que hay que tomar en cuenta es que el fondo no es rÃgido, por lo que yo tuve que agregarle un panel como de 30 cm X 30 cm de cartón para poder colocar encima el recipiente que contiene la planta alimentadora de las orugas. Esto le da más estabilidad al conjunto en el caso de que haya viento.
