RESTCLOUD Insekt och fjäril livsmiljöbur terrarium pop-up 61 cm hög, polyesterbotten för enklare rengöring

Really liked the idea of this. Plenty of room for a number of caterpillars. But I have had 5 caterpillars try to hang on mesh and make their "J" on their way to making chrysalis. 4 out of 5 fell off. Couldn't cling to mesh. After consulting with other butterfly people, I very carefully glued their bum end to q-tips and rehung them. One did not survive the fall. Not sure what's up with this mesh, but the cats can't attach/ clung to it to make chrysalises, which defeats the whole point. Going back to my smaller, but reliable, cedar vivarium. I won't use this mesh habitat again. I have another butterfly friend who had exact same problems with this exact same product. ( I did add sticks for cats to make chrysalises on, but they kept chosing the mesh. 😢)

Keeps my monarchs safe.

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.

Perfect nursery for Monarch Butterflies!!

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 28 augusti 2020

I love this Terrarium! It’s perfect for raising Monarchs. There is plenty of room to have Monarchs from eggs all the way to Butterflies. It is very easy to clean, I do line the bottom with newspaper or paper towels so they can just be lifted out and replaced. It’s sturdy, but lightweight making it easy to move if needed. The fine mesh and vinyl window keeps the tiniest of caterpillars safe as they go though their instars, and makes viewing so much fun! I also appreciate that it folds up flat for storage after the season is over.
Great Purchase!

Quality habitats and very fast delivery

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 31 mars 2019

We are raising Monarch butterflies like so many and like to put the milkweed plants in the enclosures outside unless it gets cold and then we bring them in. Have done this successfully for years. The habitats keep predators out and the caterpillars in allowing natural sunshine and makes it very easy form the cats to climb up the mesh walls when they are ready to make their chrysalis. The seller has now on multiple purchases has delivered the product very fast and very pleased by that too! Would recommend.

Keeping Monarch Cats and Chrysalises' safe

I loved the fact that my Chrysalis was safe and especially as my Caterpillar chose to make its Pupa under the leaf of the Milkweed plant! So rare I'm told. I lost three other Caterpillars who just disappeared from the Milkweed...so this was the survivor, and after I put the potted plant into the Cloud, suddenly there were two new caterpillars! All three were comfortable, the new two hung from the ceiling, so easy for them to attach to the netting. When the weather got bad I just lifted the whole house and put it in my house, where everyday I could watch for them to emerge! When the first on did, I put the potted Milkweed outside and let her dry her wings more and then...she took a drink of my purple flowers next door to her Milkweed and flew away! Perfect protection and the observation panel allowed me to see clearly how all are doing, love it! Can't wait till spring to do this again, only now I won't lose my Caterpillars! All accounted for!
