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:
2 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..

The size allows plenty of room for milkweed leaves for the monarch caterpillars. They can easily access the top of the cage when ready to make a chrysalis. Plenty of room. I put a bottle of unopened water in the cage so it would not blow off the porch and tied it down using the 2 handles and string. The two handles also permit easy relocation of the cage if necessary. The zipper is excellent and allows a lot of access to the inside of the cage for cleaning caterpillar frass and replacing milkweed leaves. An excellent cage for raising butterflies. Very lightweight. Love that 3 sides are mesh, one side is clear thick plastic for easy viewing.

Bought to save Monarch caterpillars through hatching stage. Tall enough for the milkweed and lots of air because it's made of netting. Inexpensive but did the job well. Others said they had zipper break, I did not. I was happy with the purchase and recueved 2 in the pack. Easy to fold down when not in use. Buy this size so you ha e room to clean the cage. Don't buy the small cube size.

I initially bought two of these cages to raise monarch caterpillars. They worked great and as my caterpillar population increased I bought 3 more. The cages are sturdy, breathable, easily viewable and work great for both caterpillars and butterfly. Most of the caterpillars crystallized on the ceiling of the cage, making it easy to see when they were born. I use plastic lids in the bottom to help catch the poop, which helps with daily clean up. I highly recommend these cages. Great price too!

I bought 2 of these, and then needed an extra. I bought one of another brand, which was cheaper. That one stands lopsided and the zipper door is much smaller. These are straight and sturdy- much better and I should have stayed with them. Excellent butterfly habitat.

Great size and easy to use. Has a handle on top and a loop on bottom to stake into place.

This enclosure far exceeded my expectations. It was sturdy and did it's job keeping the everything safe. It's an awesome feature to have a plastic bottom so nothing leaks through. Storage after use is easy as it folds into itself and lays mostly flat.10/10 would recommend.
