RESTCLOUD 30" Large Monarch Butterfly Habitat Cage, Outdoor Insect Mesh Cage Terrarium 16.5" x 16.5" x 30"

Best butterfly enclosure I've seen listed online. Can hold 6 individual gallon pots. Easy to use and clean, predator proof, durable zipper. Product is lightweight so make sure to put bricks inside enclosure so it doesn't fall over!

I bought this product because it looked super sturdy. Sadly it was almost impossible to put together. Even using a mallet to assemble the frame tightly, I could barely pull the netting to reach the top poles. Was so excited when I got it set up without tearing. Then I discovered how hard it is to close the zipper. I could see the netting stretched at the top where the zipper meets and figured that would be torn before my caterpillars could even pupate.Then tonight (just 48 hrs after building this thing with much sweat and a fair bit of swearing) I notice the netting has torn away from the top of the plastic - an area I haven’t even touched unlike the side where I open the zipper. Holding it together with duct tape to prevent the caterpillars from escaping as they seek out a place for their metamorphosis. Really disappointing for the price point. Especially as I see other corner of the same side is equally strained and beginning to separate. There’s no way this would hold up to a cleaning at the end of the season.I really want to love this product. It’s a great size, and is a nice habitat for viewing the caterpillars and keeping them safe. But it should last longer than 2 days for what I paid. I wanted to reach out to the seller but since Amazon handles the shipping, my only recourse seems to be to return the item. Kind of hard when I’m expecting a caterpillar to pupate soon.UPDATE - Shortly after publishing this review, I heard from the seller. They offered to refund my money or send me another unit. I opted for the refund as I think I will try one of the pop up options next season. I stand by my statement that it is difficult to assemble as the netting is tight to put on the frame. So if I had it to assemble again, as soon as I felt how tight the fabric fit was I would stop the process and hammer the frame more to try to ensure it was really as snug as it should be. I’ll also add that despite the tear, this performed as it should we’ve had the joy of seeing close to 20 caterpillars become butterflies. I’m looking forward to ordering another and doing this again next year! Kudos to the company for making good on their commitment to customer service. This alone has earned them all the stars!

It is a wonderful butterfly cage. Easy to assemble and use. Very satisfied. Would definitely recommend.

A nicely designed and very sturdy cage. I tried to shelter Monarch caterpillars in it but they all died from disease despite daily cleaning. Not the fault of the cage but of my methods.

This is a great habitat but I thought it had 2 doors. It doesn’t so if a caterpillar makes a chrysalis on the zipper it is hard to get it to in to care for the other caterpillars.Update: Seller contacted me after reading my review and resolved to make sure I was satisfied. Excellent customer service!

These work great have 7 now for monach buuterflies .

I had this for a month or two unused but ready to go for when my caterpillars were ready to go in. Today I went to use it for the first time all I did was take a paper towel and some water to clean the bottom incase there were any chemical on it. I used almost no force to do this and genuinely don't understand how it broke but it tore the entire left side down the seem at the bottom. The only conclusion I can come to is that mine was faulty or that they are poorly manufactured.

Arrived in 1 day as promised. Easy to assemble and the perfect home for my Monarch caterpillars. They are already munching away in it.
