The BugDorm-4E1515 insect cage has external dimensions of just W17.5 x D17.5 x H17.5 cm, making it an ideal choice for lab shelves with limited space.
The BugDorm-4E1515 insect cage has very fine Nylon netting (150x150 mesh, 160 µm aperture) all around. For better ventilation, no plastic sheet is used in any of the panels except the floor. Centered in the front panel is a sleeve opening (12 cm diameter) for adding or removing insects and replacing food material. A thin strip sewn across the ceiling allows for suspending objects like feeders.
The framework of the BugDorm-4E1515 insect cage is made of lightweight fiberglass and constructed outside the enclosure, minimizing hiding spots inside the cage for insects.
