BugDorm-2S400 Insect Rearing Cage

Formerly BD2400

The tent-like BugDorm-2S400 insect cage provides a large space for potted plants.  The front and back panels of BugDorm-2S400 are of clear plastic for observation of insect activity; the two side panels are of Polyester netting (96 x 26 mesh) for ventilation.  The support poles of its base frame are of 4-mm diameter fiberglass.

There are three openings in the front panel of the BugDorm-2S400 insect rearing cage.  The zippered opening is large enough to insert potted plants.  The two smaller sleeve openings (18 cm diameter) o­n the zippered opening permit the addition or removal of insects and the replacement of food without letting insects escape.

BugDorm-2S400 insect cage is constructed so that support poles are outside the enclosure.  There are no places for insects to hide inside BugDorm-2S400.
