BugDorm-6E630 Insect Rearing Cage

180-cm tall, BugDorm-6E630 insect cage is suitable for large potted plants.  All panels except the floor are of fine Nylon netting (150 x 150 mesh) for ventilation.  A thin strip is sewn across the ceiling from which to suspend objects such as feeders.

There are three openings in the front panel of BugDorm-6E630 insect rearing cage. The zippered opening is large enough to insert large plants.  On the zippered opening are two 18-cm sleeve openings for addition or removal of insects and replacement of food without letting insects escape.

The framework of BugDorm-6E630 insect cage is of durable aluminum and constructed outside the enclosure.  There are no places for insects to hide inside the cage.
