BugDorm-4E3030 insect cage is very easy to assemble by simply connecting plastic poles with connectors. The BugDorm-43030 has very fine Nylon netting (150x150 mesh, 160 µm aperture) all around, using no plastic sheet in any of the panels except the floor for better ventilation. A thin strip is sewn across the ceiling from which to suspend objects, such as feeders.
The front panel has an 18-cm sleeve opening for adding or removing insects and replacing food material.
The BugDorm-4E3030 insect cage features a lightweight fiberglass framework assembled externally to the enclosure. This design eliminates hiding spots for insects inside the cage.
