RESTCLOUD Insect and Butterfly Habitat Cage Terrarium Pop-up 12" x 14" Tall

This cage is EXCEPTIONALLY well made and perfect for praying mantises, butterflies, stick insects, etc. The extra zippered access at the bottom is its best feature. You can clean the insect's waste up or put food in without disturbing the insect. And unlike cheaper cages, this one does NOT have a "hidden" hole at the end of the zipper that you cannot see, but which you can put your finger right through. That hidden hole on competitors' cages allows the feeder insects (fruit flies, houseflies, crickets & roaches) that I feed to my mantises to escape from the cheaper competitors' cages. So don't even try to compare this to other cages on the market! None are as well made as this cage, which is why I keep ordering dozens of them. This cage never had a single escaped feeder insects like the cheaper cages I bought. I also like that the material at the bottom keeps moisture and debris from falling through onto the floor or the cage below. Cages with mesh bottoms can't do that. My ONLY complaint about this cage is personal: the really busy leaf pattern detracts from my enjoyment of watching my mantises and butterflies, and I like to watch my insects. It also makes it extremely hard to tell if there is mantis poop or diarrhea at the bottom or any leftover feeder insects that may be hiding amid the busy leaf pattern. The larger version of this cage that has the same features and is a much more pleasing plain green, but it is just too large (eats up too much space) for me to keep hundreds of mantises in my home, since each mantis requires its own cage. The cage washes up really well in regular laundry detergent and holds up well when housing even big mantises with big sharp claws, yet has soft enough sides that it won't damage delicate butterfly wings. On cheaper cages, the flexible metal framework has frequently broken through the fabric and made those cages unusable. That has never happened on a RESTCLOUD cage, and I have literally hundreds of mantises housed in various cages. This is the best cage on the market, and I don't typically write glowing reviews!

Perfect size and such a relief keeping them safe and much easier to clean. You won’t be sorry buying this.

Got it for a stick bug egg. We leave it outside during the day and bring it in at night. It will keep the babies in after they hatch. Perfect

I love this purchase. So easy to set up. Easy to clean. The zippers work easily and the caterpillars are loving all the space to crawl around. I had one hatch already and plenty of room for them to dry their wings. I loved it so much I just ordered a second one for Swallowtail caterpillars.

Just what I needed to two newly found baby caterpillars. Perfect size for this time of year because very unusual. They should do fine in this.

For the seller,packaging and mailing, was great, arrived on time. The product is good but I don't like the white screening. It is very difficult to see inside best vision is opening from top, all the sides are difficult to see tnrough. A normal window screen type netting would be better. I like the size. I can put some large sprigs of plants , milkweed for Monarchs, in easily. Better screening would make this much better.pp

My Kindergarten students loved this experience! The net is very durable and will be used for years to come!

We got this to watch caterpillars and butterflies. It was so easy to use and be able to watch the caterpillars go into their chrysalis and then emerge as butterflies. Easy to clean also.
