Product Specific

Work In Progress

Our "E" and "F" cage lines are the best candidates for your requirements.  To find cages of the required sizes, please follow the links below:

BugDorm-4F Insect Rearing Cages
BugDorm-4E Insect Rearing Cages

Use diluted detergent and a soft brush to clean your BugDorm-1 insect cages, or use a laboratory dishwasher if they are filthy.  Our experience shows that washing the cages with 57°C water and Deconex in a dishwasher for about 10 minutes can clean them well.   However, avoid using water temperatures above 70°C for more than one minute, as this can cause the cage plastic to warp.

It's essential not to set the dishwasher to phases higher than the cage can tolerate.  As a good practice, we recommend running tests before cleaning the BugDorm-1 cages in the dishwasher.

HAND WASH  Submerge and soak the cage for 20-30 minutes in the mix of detergent and water, agitate the cage gently, and then rinse the cage to remove the detergent.

MACHINE WASH  Use the side-loading laundry machine set on a washing cycle of low agitation and low-speed spin.

CAUTION  Wash cage's mesh fabric only.  Wash at room temperature.  Use laundry bag when machine washing.  Recommend applying neutral detergents.  Apply bleach or stain remover carefully, as those chemicals weaken the cage fabric.  Dry the cage in the shade.

Please follow the user guide that comes with our products carefully to ensure their proper functioning.  Alternatively, you can refer to the video tutorial available on this website for that specific product.

It's best to disassemble all components and store them in a cool, shaded area to prevent heat damage.

The material of the cage floors has some degree of water repellency, but it is not entirely waterproof.

To achieve the desired result, we recommend purchasing our Acrylic floors.  They are available in four different sizes: 15 by 15 cm, 22 by 22 cm, 30 by 30 cm, and 45 by 45 cm.  Additionally, the connectors needed to secure the Acrylic floor in place have already been included in the cages you purchased.
