The BugDorm-4H4545 insect cage is straightforward to assemble by connecting plastic poles with connectors. It is equipped with Nylon netting (40×32 mesh/inch, 720 µm aperture) ON ALL SIDES, including the floor, which keeps most insects out or from entering the cage while ensuring excellent ventilation.
The front panel features an 18-cm sleeve opening and a large zippered opening, providing convenient access for adding or removing insects and replacing food. A thin strip sewn across the ceiling allows for suspending objects like feeders.
Constructed from lightweight fiberglass, the BugDorm-4H4545 framework is assembled outside the enclosure, reducing potential hiding spots for insects within. The cage's durable, UV-resistant Nylon mesh also makes this cage suitable for outdoor use.
