The BugDorm-4H3030 insect cage is easy to assemble by connecting plastic poles with connectors. It features Nylon netting (40×32 mesh/inch, 720 µm aperture) ON ALL SIDES, including the floor, to keep most insects out or from entering the cage while promoting superior ventilation.
The front panel includes an 18-cm sleeve opening for easy access to add or remove insects and replace food. A thin strip sewn across the ceiling suspends objects such as feeders.
Constructed from lightweight fiberglass, the BugDorm-4H3030's framework is built outside the enclosure, minimizing hiding spots for insects inside the cage. The sturdy, UV-resistant Nylon mesh also makes this cage suitable for outdoor use.
