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

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!

Just what I needed! Where were these when I was homeschooling my kids?! We made a homemade one when the kids were young, but this one is so much better! I really like the clear side that allows for better observation of the caterpillars! It has handles on the top to make the rearing cage easy to transport or hang up, when releasing the butterflies. The tightly woven mesh fabric sides allow air flow, but keep tiny caterpillars in and predators out. No escapees! I like that it can be folded flat and easily stored. It is a great product at a very affordable price. So glad I found this product! I bought the medium size one, 15” x 15”.

I started a vicious cycle of caring for Monarch caterpillars. Started with a few in my garden and I wanted to house them inside so they would stay safe and my young son could learn about them. Bought a few milkweed plants that apparently had more eggs and now I’m in over my head feeding an additional 16 mouths. However this enclosure has been perfect. The viewing window makes it easy to watch them. They are able to secure themselves at the top of the mesh. It’s easy to open and clean with the huge zippered side. Handles at the top for easy carrying and large enough for a gallon pot or larger to fit inside.

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!

Initially bought this enclosure to put my spider terrarium in as I’ve got baby jumping spiders escaping through vent holes. The smaller size wasn’t quite big enough so I got the larger one as well, which does have fine enough mesh to keep my slings in. I ended up letting my cats have at the smaller enclosure, and it has held up resoundingly well for the price. The cats pounce on each other through the netting, and the kitten has done a fair bit of clawing and nibbling, and the mesh has held up very well. Weeks of play with no holes or large runs in the mesh, very well made

This RESTCLOUD pop-up butterfly habitat is great. It's 23.6″ tall, collapsible, breathable mesh with a handy zipper door, and perfect for milkweed plants. We used it to raise monarchs successfully and loved the design and ease of use.However, we later came across a two pack for just a bit more money. Not only did that pack offer better value, but the cages in it were slightly larger, giving more room for plants and butterflies. So while this single unit works really well, if you’re planning future seasons or more caterpillars, it's worth considering the two pack for its size and value advantage.

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 originally bought this product to use over a planted milked plant in my butterfly garden. I cut an "X" at the bottom and placed over one of my planted milkweed plants, as seen in the first 2 images. I found it difficult to water the plant this way and once I had my first butterfly, I decided to stitch the opening i made closed (very easily) and put a potted milkweed inside instead (as seen in the third image to the far right side of the photo. Much easier to care for this way with the potted plant sitting inside.The netted cage collapses easily for storage and is very light. Next time I will buy the next size up.
