It features two side-opening doors for easy feeding and cleaning, a clear vinyl window for observation, and a polyester bottom that simplifies cleanup. This habitat suits families, students, and anyone interested in watching the transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Comes in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes one butterfly habitat terrarium and a quick start guide manual. The tubes and rack are not included. The cage itself is ready to use after a quick setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Doors for Easier Access\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many single-door habitats, this cage has two side openings: a standard door and a drawbridge-style door. Both make it simpler to feed your butterflies and clean out frass (caterpillar waste). The polyester bottom is easy to wipe or rinse clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClear Window and Breathable Mesh\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear vinyl window panel gives you a front-row seat to the entire life cycle—from caterpillar to chrysalis to emerging butterfly. The fine mesh panels allow good airflow while keeping caterpillars and butterflies safe inside. The mesh is soft and breathable, so the insects remain comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCollapsible for Easy Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen not in use, the cage folds flat for storage under a bed, in a closet, or behind a couch. Unfolded, it measures 12 x 12 x 12 inches. To open it, remove the elastic strap carefully—it can pop open suddenly. After opening, the PVC panels may have creases; you can smooth them with a hair dryer on low heat for about five minutes or place the cage in warm sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Clean and Maintain the Mesh Cage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a disease outbreak or at the end of the season, soak the entire cage in a 5% bleach solution (19 parts water to 1 part bleach) for about 20 minutes. Use a laundry tub or bathtub. Rinse thoroughly with water, then let it sun dry by hanging on a clothesline or placing a rock inside to keep it from blowing away. For everyday cleaning, simply wipe the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandy Tips for Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways close the cage door so the zippers meet at the top center. If a caterpillar is on the zipper, you can zip down the other side to open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo fold the cage, place your hands on opposite upper corners and press one corner in to collapse it flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis habitat works well for monarchs, painted ladies, black swallowtails, and even praying mantis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRESTCLOUD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 12 x 12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlloy steel frame, polyester mesh and bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePortable, pop-up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 years and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Model Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo Doors Butterfly Habitat Cage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHabitat terrarium, quick start guide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs This Butterfly Habitat Easy to Set Up?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
