The BugDorm-4E2222 insect cage's external dimensions are only L24.5 x W24.5 x H24.5 cm, making it a perfect fit for lab shelves with limited space.
The BugDorm-4E2222 has very fine Nylon netting (150x150 mesh, 160 µm aperture) all around. No plastic sheet is used 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 lightweight fiberglass framework makes the BugDorm-4E2222 insect cage very easy to assemble. Simply connect poles using connectors. Moving BugDorm-4E2222 will not cause it to fall apart because the netting is sewn to perfectly match and hold the frame.
