Questions & Answers

What is the water resistance of polyester fabric?

My knowledge is that it has not happened so far. It is a tight mesh, however, so water is not easily let The butterflies will lay their chrysalis beneath a covered patio when they are still in the chrysalis stage, and we will release them the same day they hatch.

Several reviewers mention that this cage does not have a side zippered opening but only has a top zipper. They are both shown in the picture. Would you mind telling me what that is?

Mantises, butterflies, or other insects make great house pets in this cage
5/5

In addition to its excellent construction, this cage is the perfect setup for praying mantises, butterflies, stick insects, etc. Its extra zippered access at the bottom makes it the best cage in its class. There is no need to disturb the insect while cleaning up its waste, or putting food in. And unlike cheaper cages, this one does not have a "hidden" hole at the end of the zipper that you are unlikely to ever see, but can easily stick your finger ) that I feed to my mantises to help them escape the cheaper competitor's There is no comparison to other cages in the market, so do not even try! There are few cages that are as well made as this one, which is why I order them on a regular basis. As opposed to the cheaper cages I purchased, this cage never had a single escaped feeder insect. Also, I like the material at the bottom that prevents moisture and debris from falling through on to the cage below or the floor. It is impossible to do that with mesh bottomed cages. This cage only makes me unhappy on a personal level Seeing my mantis and butterflies is not as enjoyable when there is a really busy leaf pattern, and I enjoy watching my Also, it is difficult to figure out if there is poop or diarrhea at the bottom of the tunnel or if any remnants of feeder insects are hiding among all the busy leaf patterns. In spite of the fact that the large version of this cage has all the same features and is a much more pleasing green color, it is just too big (takes up much space) for me to keep hundreds of mantises in my home, as each one needs Despite its hard sides, the cage is soft enough to protect delicate butterfly wings without damaging them, and it washes up really well in regular laundry detergent. Even the largest mantises with very sharp claws can be housed in it with no problems. It is common for the flexible metal framework on cages of lower quality to break through the fabric, making There has never been an incident like that with a RESTCLOUD cage, and I have hundreds of mantises residing in diverse My usual style of writing positive reviews isn't to give glowing reviews, but this cage is the best on the market!.

The butterflies need to be saved! Our milkweed was being attacked by 3 caterpillars that appeared when it got cold in Florida
5/5

We have set up a new butterfly habitat in our newly cut milkweed growing area, adding fresh milkweed and fresh caterpillars. As soon as they emerged from the cocoon, I released them stage by stage. The only time I do this is when the temperature is going to plummet, since I have butterfly gardens in our yard. I enjoy the habitat here.

Then again, it's nothing spectacular
3/5

This was a gift I bought my nephews this year. This is a very spacious and easy to access hotel. Observing the process is extremely challenging because the mesh is so tightly woven (good for preventing caterpillars from coming out) that it makes it impossible to see the process at all. Due to the mesh, clear plastic top, and ease of viewing via the mesh, I am perhaps spoiled by the habitat from insect lore. As a result of its many years of use, mine has so many holes that I will be ordering a new insect lore version. It eventually wears out and we have experienced multiple escapes despite the repair work we have done.
If the mesh weren't so tight, I'd totally be on board. Even if there were a clear plastic top, it would make it impressive. I am disappointed because the product is of very high quality.

This is a very poorly constructed habitat! The monarchs I raise have been my focus for over 2 years, and I have had too many at some point to fit in the only 2 habitats I had, so I built these and thought having the access at the bottom would make things easier
3/5

It appears I was wrong after all! These habitats make me angry in just about every way! Despite their poor condition, they can be seen together around the bottom where there is excess plastic where poop gets in and it is difficult to remove. The blanket opens and closes on top of the zipper and it has actually been observed that the cats began to morph right in the middle of the zipper. The butterfly habitats from Backyard Safari Adventures are far superior to those from any other brand. I am blown away by how well they are Those are the kinds of things I'll purchase again. Save your money! You won't find these habitats useful!.

In this season, there have been multiple monarch generations
5/5

The birds and lizards get to our caterpillars often before they make it to chrysalis because every season, we grow milkweed. Our attempts at hatching monarchs have been successful with several rounds of this inexpensive alternative. It was a great product suitable for all ages, even my husband was fascinated by the process of making it. I like how compact this enclosure is, and that it's lightweight but the zipper is sturdy enough. Though the hand opening could be a bit more spacious for daily cleaning, it is fully functional nonetheless.

This is a wonderful habitat for insects! There is no better place for caterpillars to tent and rest than this
5/5

The cocoons they build and the protection they need It will be a great opportunity for your little naturalists to observe butterflies and other insects. By providing them with a respectable distance from their temporary pets, they will learn to keep their distance. My grandkids receive these every summer so they can see the caterpillars they collect grow into butterflies and then become a butterfly themselves In this way the project is educational. The habitat is large and the animals are released back to the wild. This net is very durable, but you should keep in mind that it is made of netting and not nylon The treatment should last several months if it is done properly. Those of us who have had them lasted for a year & a half Once they are worn out, they must.

value for what you get
4/5

I have owned Insect Lore products before, and now I use RestCloud. There is no question that the Insect Lore is more durable and their side door is bigger. However, for the price, the RestCloud has a lot to offer. Considering I didn't need a lifetime habitat and wanted to save some money, I decided to buy a second hand one. Buying the kit at InsectLore was much more difficult than finding a stand-alone habitat. Insect Lore is a terrific kit for butterfly care if you are raising them.

The perfect place for monarchs to hang out! Our project with monarch butterflies this fall would benefit from this
5/5

The leaves can easily be changed out, and the bottom can be easily wiped down. You should also buy a Monarch butterfly book to go along with it, which gives you some directions and information. A good habitat will be made by it again next year. Stores easily since it can be made compact. Be careful with it since it is a net, but it is more than sturdy enough to use for its intended purpose.
