RESTCLOUD Insect and Butterfly Habitat Cage Terrarium Pop-up 23.6 Inches Tall

I absolutely love this habitat cage for my Painted Lady Butterflies. I had 12 caterpillars in my care this time and the habitat I had been using for my butterflies was simply too small & had other other issues I really began to dislike. So, I decided to search for a better habitat this time around & decided on this particular one. VERY PLEASED WITH THIS HABITAT!! Absolutely everything I wanted and more. The two zippers on the side are absolutely awesome. Makes everything so much easier to do without disturbing the chrysalises. I really like having the vinyl side for a better view, plus it gives the option to have the vinyl side down for easier cleaning of any frass and meconium. Easily will fit a good amount of potted plants unlike the last habitat I had, which is just awesome. Easier to see through the mesh on this habitat as well compared to my previous habitat. Very well made and easy to fold back up when not in use. I really like the overall look of the habitat as well. I plan to buy again from this company again to get the 12x12x12 cube looking habitat next. I am very pleased with my purchase. The price and quality is absolutely amazing for this habitat. Myself and my butterflies are very satisfied with this purchase. Highly recommend buying from this company. I even liked they included a quick start guide for caring for your butterflies from eggs to butterfly phase. They also emailed me to let me know that if I had any questions or issues to please let them know and they would be glad to help. Always a good sign of a good company!

My son wanted to raise a batch of painted lady butterflies. I didn’t plan it well and we are headed for the beach tomorrow! Luckily, they will be on day 3 of their chrysalis stage. I moved them into this net which is perfect size for travel! It’s sturdy, high quality and compact. Zipper is legit. Looks like we are having us some Beach Butterflies! It is NOT ideal to travel with chrysalises but the alternative isn’t an option. My son is so excited to watch them hatch! It’s going to be very fun for him and his cousin! I laid the lid down flat to prevent major jostling. I’ll report back on how they did!UPDATE: We traveled 4 hours to the beach. Stayed a week and drove back home 4 hours with these chrysalises in this net. The morning after we got home- they emerged! Now, we have 2 healthy beautiful painted lady butterflies!! Of course I do not recommend traveling with pupas but I was afraid they would hatch while we were gone and not get the attention and care they needed. All in all- it was a big success!! Highly recommend this net cage!

I purchased the RESTCLOUD Insect and Butterfly Habitat Cage for my toddler and it has been such a fun and educational addition to our home. The mesh is high-quality and breathable, allowing for great airflow and visibility. It’s roomy enough for caterpillars to grow and transform without feeling cramped, and the zippered opening makes it easy to clean and interact with the insects.We’ve already raised a few butterflies and it’s been such a magical experience for my daughter to see them up close. The habitat folds down flat for easy storage, which is a bonus for us since we don’t have a lot of extra space. Highly recommend for parents, teachers, or anyone who wants a closer look at nature!

This has been perfect for raising butterflies. It is an easy pop up and allows for visualization of the caterpillars and chrysalises. The Joy factor as you watch them grow and turn into Monarch butterflies is truly amazing. I raised 21butterflies last month. It is a perfect size to put the pot of milkweed in, and it is easy to clean. Great value for the money.

This was a little bigger than what I was expecting, but it works well. The clear side is great for kids to be able to peek inside and look at the caterpillars/butterflies. Would buy again! Also, I was worried that the holes in the mesh would be too big for baby monarch caterpillars to get through, but from what I saw, it looks like they wouldn't be able to get through.

I bought this pop up enclosure after finding Eastern Black Swallowtail eggs on some dill back in June. After raising our first round of swallowtails, we ended up with our second round, then our third. We now have nearly 90 eggs that we’re waiting on. This enclosure works well enough that we bought a second one for housing chrysalises to keep them separate from growing caterpillars and I expect that we will likely buy a third soon. We found that folding and unfolding the pop up is very similar to our circular reflectors used in photography, so they are easy to transport, quick to set up and compact when not in use. I’ve included a few photos with this review showing this pop up enclosure in use, for reference.I found that this enclosure is sturdy enough for our purposes, but can lean a bit as you’re opening and closing the zippers and the first one that we purchased is just a little warped. IMHO, it’s helpful to make sure that you have it on a level surface, as this minimizes rocking while opening and closing the door. As for clean up, stains can be removed fairly easy with a mild 95:5 water to bleach solution and this also helps prevent illness and diseases from spreading. I don’t know what impact a mild bleaching would have on the black version of the enclosure, but it works fine on the white versions. We have the white model with the green trim and also white with blue trim.For anyone looking to raise butterflies and/or moths, this is easier to use than pop up hampers and has a tighter mesh to help keep other insects out and small caterpillars in. You can see the tight weave of the mesh in the last of the photos I have attached to this review. Definitely recommended.
