Formerly BugDorm-43030 (BD43030)

BugDorm-4S3030 insect cage is very easy to assemble by simply connecting plastic poles with connectors.  The front panel of BugDorm-4S3030 is of clear plastic for observing insect activity; the top and three side panels are of Polyester netting (96 x 26 mesh) for ventilation.  A thin strip is sewn across the ceiling from which to suspend objects, such as feeders.

There is a 18-cm sleeve opening in the front panel for addition or removal of insects and for replacement of food material.

The framework of BugDorm-4S3030 insect cage is of lightweight fiberglass and constructed outside the enclosure. There are no places for insects to hide inside the cage.
