External dimensions of BugDorm-4M2222 insect cage are only L24.5 x W24.5 x H24.5 cm, making it a perfect fit for lab selves with limited space.
The BugDorm-4M2222 insect rearing cage has Nylon netting (44 x 32 mesh) all around, using no plastic sheet in any of the panels except the floor for better ventilation. Centered in the front panel is a sleeve opening (17 cm diameter) for adding or removing insects and for replacing food material. A thin strip is sewn across the ceiling from which to suspend objects such as feeders.
The framework of lightweight fiberglass makes BugDorm-4M2222 insect cage very easy to assemble. Simply use connectors to connect poles. Moving BugDorm-4M2222 will not make it fall apart because the netting is sewn to perfectly match and hold the frame.
