30" Heavy Duty Monarch Butterfly Habitat, Outdoor Collapsible Insect Mesh Cage Terrarium Pop-up with Zipper Protection and Unzip Bottom

This is a quality heavy duty butterfly enclosure. I could easily fit parsley plant inside. It has loops at all four bottom corners to stake down like a tent (stakes included). Strong wires on all side seams. Popped up easily for instant set up. Very pleased overall. Found it to be very roomy for raising Swallowtail cats too. Price was good for 30” butterfly enclosure. Also, was very happy with informative booklet that was included about Monarch and Swallowtails. I am new to this and found it to be quite helpful. I’d definitely buy this item again. I didn’t rate for gift giving, but if giving it to someone with passion for nature I’m sure they’d be thrilled. As far as cleaning the bottom is cloth. I did separate order for a mat to line the bottom with to make poop cleaning easier.My only one complaint was that I opted to pay for shipping rather than free shipping because it was supposed to arrive on Sunday instead of Tuesday that way. Unfortunately it didn’t arrive when it should have. I had five Swallowtail cats when I left for work Monday morning. Enclosure arrived while I was at work. I was so anxious to come home and set up their enclosure just to find I was down to only three. A bird must have got two before I could safeguard them. I guess that’s nature, but I am glad the remaining three are now safe from being killed by wasps or eaten by birds. I can’t wait till these three turn into butterflies so they can be released. I was reimbursed the cost of shipping without asking for return.

Our family found our first monarch caterpillar and we were very excited. But we have a variety of birds and animals in our yard and were concerned that the caterpillar would be injured or eaten.Most of the mesh butterfly habitats that we found had a solid floor but we didn’t want to rip our perennial milkweed plant out of the garden, we wanted something that we could put in place. This habitat was just the ticket! We were able to unbox it and install it over the milkweed plant (and caterpillar) in about 5 minutes. The floor unzipped and came right off, and the stakes did a good job of anchoring it to the ground. (You could also use landscape staples.) There were some gaps around the bottom where the soil surface is uneven but I just pushed a bit of mulch into place.The materials and build seem to be of good quality and as I said above it was very easy to use right out of the box. 10/10 would buy again!

The media could not be loaded. This enclosure was brilliant! We raised almost 2 dozen swallowtail eggs to cats to chrysalis to butterflies in here. The zip bottom was very helpful for keeping the space clean. It’s incredibly durable and looking forward to purchasing another one for monarchs next year!

I use this for my swallowtails and another for my monarchs.. the cage is the perfect size, I love the zipper on the bottom, as I can put the cage right over the plant, so the caterpillars can stay outside on their host plant.. there are loops to stake the cage down so it doesn’t blow away… then the butterfly’s come out of the chrysalis, I open the huge side and let them take their time and they leave when ready… they all stayed in my yard until time to go south, (the monarchs).. the swallowtails, I have 6 are in the cage, on my back porch.. here’s 2 you can see… they have all the aspects of being outside and I saved all the caterpillars from being eaten by birds and other predators..

This 30" Heavy Duty Monarch Butterfly Habitat is a fantastic option for raising and observing butterflies. The spacious interior provides ample room for the butterflies to fly and grow. The sturdy mesh construction ensures proper ventilation while keeping the butterflies securely contained. The pop-up design makes it incredibly easy to assemble and disassemble, making it convenient for both indoor and outdoor use. The included zippered opening allows for easy access to the habitat, while the unzippable bottom makes it simple to release the butterflies when they are ready to fly. The durable construction ensures that this habitat will withstand multiple uses, making it a worthwhile investment for any butterfly enthusiast. The 30" size is perfect for raising larger butterflies like Monarchs, making it a valuable tool for educational purposes and personal enjoyment.

It’s become a new and interesting pastime to find worms, have then eventually turn into butterflies and enjoy them in the garden. The product is easy to use, is big enough to let the butterflies live in it until ready to leave, is easy to move, just a nice product.

It folds up faily well with some figuring it out. Zipper is covered in a pleat so cats cannot lay their silk pad on it or get hurt while usingnthe zipper.Can see well through it, but I simply was able to unzip the flap door & pin it back & watch my Monarch emerge!It was a joy to use & can't wait for my next batch of Monarchs!It will bend so no pets crawling on it.

The Rest Cloud Habitat assembled fast, pops up right into shape. Some of the edges have loose strings, just snip them off. I would buy the white one next time only because you can't see the caterpillars "frass" on black! Just lay down white paper towels and all is good. We have it attached to our umbrella table which flipped in the wind! The Habitat did not tear even though we have a 2 pound weight inside to hold down the paper towels. Great product!
