3-Pack Insect and Butterfly Habitat Cage Terrarium Pop-up Butterfly Enclosure (3 x 15.7 x 15.7 x 23.6)

These enclosures are perfect! Large! Easy to clean, fold and store during off season. Thank you!

It is an awesome product well worth the money and extremely durable

Caterpillars are thriving. This is awesome for protecting the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterflies.

This caterpillar cage is large in size, which is nice. However, the plastic side, which is really necessary to put on the bottom, means the zippered part is then on the side, and that also makes the handles relatively useless.

We are using 2 cages at the moment. One contains 4 pupae. We are eagerly awaiting our first butterfly. In the other cage one caterpillar is still feeding and 2 are hanging from the ceiling in the j position. They should be in the pupa stage by tomorrow.

I use these enclosures to raise Monarch caterpillars. The weave of the net is very tight so it helps keep even the smallest predators, like ants, out of the enclosure. They are also great for a safe place for the chrysalises to eclose. They have been a game changer for my success raising the caterpillars. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have been helping monarchs for the past few years. Until I really got into it, I was using a homemade habitat. A friend of mine who introduced me to this past time had a few netted habitats that were pretty awesome. Since I have done this now for several summers and am doing it full time in Florida, getting real habitats made sense. In searching the internet, the Restwell offerings looked like what I wanted and were offered at a good price . When they came, I was TOTALLY pleased with them. They popped up easily and held the plants (and cats!) perfectly. The zippered opening allows easy access for cleaning and adding food. The solid plastic side allows me to view whats happening with the cats so the disturbance to their space is minimal. I highly recommend these. The ONLY reason I gave them a 4 star rating for sturdiness is that when I needed to move them, the plants inside were heavy and caused the bottoms to sag. Not a big deal but just something folks should be aware of.

Love these because I raise a lot of monarchs.

3-Pack Butterfly Enclosure helped us release over 100 Monarch butterflies!! We started off with 12 caterpillars end of July. We used these enclosures for the different phases from the egg to the caterpillar to the chrysalis to the butterflies! The enclosure blends into the garden with the white crisp looking mesh & green trim. Because of the light colored mesh netting sides top & bottom the natural lighting and the air was able to flow through the sanctuary without cooking or overheating the process. The white mesh helped the colors of the caterpillars & the chrysalis stand out brilliantly when it came to taking pictures & video. The viewing side of the cube is genius when youre showing off your sanctuary. You can even take pictures on that clear side and the pictures come out clearly as if youre inside the sanctuary! The caterpillars utilized the top of the enclosure to transform into chrysalis stage. The height was perfect because even when we were moving plants in & out, there was plenty of room to not disturb the many butterfly chrysalis on the top. The very practical feature was the double zipper which we utilized daily. The double zipper gave us plenty of opening to move the milkweed plants in and out. The enclosure fit 4 1-gallon milkweed pots easily. Those caterpillars are munchers so we were in and out every day! The zippers were nice because when the butterfly was ready to fly away, we could leave part of the flap opening for them to come out. The zippers also provided plenty of maneuverability when taking pictures or video inside the pop-up sanctuary. Make sure you have plenty of pollinator plants for the butterflies to land on to dry their wings after coming out of the chrysalis. We had milkweed in the garden as well so when the butterflies came back, they would lay eggs on the underside of the milkweed leaf. Thats how we got 3 generations this season. Then wed move the tiny caterpillars inside the enclosure. When the last butterfly flies away, probably end of October, it will be easy to clean & spray down the enclosure, fold it up and store it for next season. I highly recommend the pop-up butterfly enclosure. We thought the 3-pack was too much, but for our veteran season it worked out great because we ended up using 2 and gifted 1 to our milkweed supplier who she herself utilized a total of 3 enclosures!!

They are great but don’t last long when outside, thought they would be able to handle outdoors.
